New Firm Tirwal 2.7 TripleBoot - xPDF - FBReader

[LCF]

I'm using the firmware for more than 3 weeks now, and I'm extremely happy with it! One big

Hi:

I make a new version. Tirwal 2.9. I mod both BookShelfs, LBook and Hanlin, to list ODT files. (OpenOffice text). I include a directory named OpenDocument, with a script in it, to rename ODT files to ODT.EPUB, and open with ADE. Put your ODT files inside this directory, and the directory in the root of the SD.
I update CoolReader to 17022010 compilation.

I update the first post.

Thanks

Thanks for the update!
Btw, any news on when you might start using the new sdk?

[Tirwal]

Hi:

I start using new SDK when it'll be more stable. In actual version many file format libraries don't work, and the keys fail. CoolReader don't work in lastest version. Perhaps, when chinese will go back of their chinese new year, we'll have news.

Hey,fabulous firmware, I only use my own EPUBs and the Coolreader has LOTS of customization, which I like a lot.
Only one question... where do I put custom fonts? I tried making a .fonts folder, but didnt work.... any suggestions? Thanks and sorry to bother you with this!

Hi:

Put in /folder in the SD to use with mobipocket and hanlin viewers. To use the fonts with mobipocket they must have an special format. There are 4 files, *.ttf, *bd.ttf, *i.ttf, and *bi.ttf, normal font, bold, italic, and italic bold. To use with CoolReader they must had been under /crengine/fonts in the SD.

Just bought an ECO Reader yesterday, and was just trying to install the Tirwal 2.9 firmware. I unzipped into the root of my 1GB Kingston SD, then turned off the reader and turned it back on while holding down the V+ key. When the reader double-beeped, I released the key. The screen showed:

Version 1.0.5 2008-03-21
Checking Update Data Please Wait

followed by 6 long beeps, then:

Invalidate File
Please Check Your Update File

I double-checked that all the files (particularly V3update.bin) were written to the SD correctly by doing a diff against the ZIP (which also unpacked with no errors). I tried again with a 256MB no-name MMC, and got exactly the same results.

A second (normal) reboot loaded the stock firmware (V2.10AU.090730), so at least I'm not entirely out of luck.

Does anyone have any idea what went wrong and how to fix it? Thanks much!

Hi:

Download again. The file downloaded may be corrupted, and format the SD to be sure the format is corrected.

Tirwal, could you please elaborate on this because I'm desperately longing to use this DejaVuSerif font with my .mobi files. You mean we should put the fonts in the same folder as the .mobi file is (and rename in that special fashion) *(cuz I did to no avail) or just make a folder in root directory and the reader will find them itself.

Thank you.

Hi:

Download this fonts directory and put in the root of your SD.

Each font has to have 4 files. One with the normal font, other with bold font, other with italic and other with bold italic, and its names has to end with the above terminations.

In the directory I put here, you have DejaVuSanSerif font in the correct form.

If don't work, put the directory in Internal Memory.

Thank you Tirwal, I couldn't find the DejaVuSerif font in that list, so I cooked it the way you said but it didn't fly. Instead I copied and renamed the Serif fonts to those of Sans and it works for now.

[jotekman]

Hiya! Thanks for the replies! I did what you said, even made a duplicate directory both on hard drive and on internal memory, made sure all fonts had the ending, and downloaded your file and added that too. None of the new fonts showed up. Is it because I only use Epub files? or am I doing something else wrong here? Thanks again Tirwal!

[Dopedangel]

if are using adobe to read epub files then you cant change fonts.

[jotekman]

I am pretty sure that I was using CoolReader to read them. I COULD change fonts and all the other settings, but I cant seem to add new fonts....

[Tirwal]

Hi:

To use fonts under CoolReader there must be in /crengine/fonts/ in the root of your SD.


Bye
