How to make Sigil live (in calibre) - Page 6

DrChiper · 11-22-2013, 06:35 AM

I see that font files do not yet appear under the Fonts section, but rather under the Miscellaneous section. A known issue I assume?

No fonts should be recognized. I am guessing that the mimetype for the fonts in the opf is incorrect. calibre uses font media types from here:

I'm afraid I do not follow you here. My test file does contain font files.

Sigil reports the exact same test file as shown in the attachement. Hence, I doubt whether the opf is incorrect. In fact Sigil reports "No problems". I attach my test file for your consideration.

Change the mimetype in the opf from application/x-font-ttf to application/x-font-truetype and the font files will be recognized.

In any case, I will change it in the next release to recognize font files even if their mimetype is incorrect.

I did and Sigil now complains (for every entry):
The <item> element's "media-type" attribute has value "application/x-font-truetype", but the file's media type is "application/x-font-ttf".

According your answer I can assume Sigil is wrong for this notification?

BTW: The font files are now indeed correctly recognized by calibre.

Googeling, I found this which might explain Sigil behavior:

Apparently ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC34 are working on a new font top-level metatype. But on
the other hand they also recognize "application/x-font-ttf" as being the
experimental (read: not standardized) de facto MIME type for Truetype fonts.
Number of Google hits for all three possibilities:
"application/x-truetype-font" 2100
"application/x-font-truetype" 4100
"application/x-font-ttf" 45900

So "application/x-font-ttf" it is. It beats the other two by an order of magnitude. I know it's not an *official* standard, but it is a de facto one, and even ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC34 recognizes it. So it should probably be enforced as an industry best practice.

See the link I posted earlier, the value calibre uses comes from the epub 3.0 specification. The epub 2.0 specification does not specify anything for the mimetype for font files, therefore calibre uses the values from the epub 3.0 spec.

In practice, it does not matter. No software that I know of cares which one you use. As I said, I will change Tweak Book to ignore incorrect mimetypes for font files in the future.

DrChiper · 11-22-2013, 10:00 AM

Ok Kovid, its clear. Thanks for the explanation.

kovidgoyal · 11-29-2013, 12:27 AM

This weeks release has support for renaming files, splitting/merging of files and pretty printing of all html/css/opf/ncx files. The pretty printing even pretty prints css embedded inside html files.

You can split by clicking the split button under the preview panel and then clicking in the preview panel at the location you want the split to happen.

You can merge by selecting multiple files in the files browser and right clicking.

Rename files by right clicking.

Pretty print by clicking the pretty print button in the editor toolbar or pretty print all files via the Tools menu.

splitting/merging/renaming should automatically fix all links and references to the affected files.

Divingduck · 11-29-2013, 03:11 AM

Kovid, when did the split happen?

I can click the button and go with the mouse in the preview-window. There I can see a green line. After I click on a position, nothing happen. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Calibre64 1.13.0
Windows Vista64

kovidgoyal · 11-29-2013, 03:19 AM

The split happens immediately (it might take a few seconds depending on the size of the file being split). You should see a new file in the files browser on the left.

Divingduck · 11-29-2013, 03:26 AM

No, thats what I was looking for. I try it with 2 files, a big one and a smal one.
I try to do it in the 32 and 64 bit Version.

kovidgoyal · 11-29-2013, 03:31 AM

I haven't tested it on windows, but it should make no difference. Can you post a file for which it is failing.

tmc · 11-29-2013, 03:35 AM

Hi kovid,
it doesnt work me either, It gives following error
preview js:undefined:281: TypeError: cannot call request_split(): unknown type `QList<int>'

Divingduck · 11-29-2013, 03:37 AM

I did it with the file from DrChiper and a other one. I can upload it in launchpad if you like.

I will try a test in ubunto too.

kovidgoyal · 11-29-2013, 03:44 AM

Ah another problem caused by the difference between PyQt on my dev machine and the build machine. Sigh. I will upload fixed builds in a bit.
