ePUB Optimizer - Page 6

Firefox allows me to set Where downloads are stored. I use a shared folder so I can easily snag them from another system

To be honest, I have not tried putting them elsewhere

, just always on the system doing the downloads. Once installed, they get moved to a archive along with a backup of a key or authorization letter

Does your download accelerator not deal well with Content-Disposition headers?

...

I don't really use download accelerators, but I have been known to copy URLs into a shell prompt and use wget.
Lots of ugly until I activated content-disposition in my wgetrc.

No problem Kevin. It was just off topic a bit too much.

Hi, Toxaris.
Thank you very much for the plugin.
I tried it and I realized that converts jpegs to "Progressive". On some devices, the latter are not displayed.
You can switch to "Standard" or "Baseline Optimized" instead?

TIA
(and sorry for my terrible English

On what devices does progressive JPEG not display? It is the preferred and recommended format for JPEG images.

Hi Toxaris,
I'm currently editing some ebooks for personal use (I can't upload them as the copyright hasn't quite expired yet) and tried using your epub optimizer to subset the fonts. I ended up with really weird results. It seems as if the plugin removed some letters that were actually used in the book. Here are screenshots:

In the plugin directory there is an ini file that contains the parameter 'UseFontFamily'. Is it set to true or false? It should be true in this case.

bentleymaniac · 05-24-2016, 03:59 AM

It is set for false at the moment.

bentleymaniac · 05-24-2016, 04:00 AM

When should it be set for true and when for false?

Toxaris · 05-24-2016, 09:16 AM

There are two settings. If you set it to false, it will expect settings in the font-face with regards to bold and italic and will use that for determining the used characters. This will ensure that characters that are for example not used in bold will be removed from the bold font. This will result in smaller fonts. This is helpful when you include a whole family with a regular, italic, bold and bolditalic version.
When the 'UseFontFamily' setting is true, it will only check for characters within styles with that font-family, regardless if it is bold/italic/etc. That is particularly useful if you only have one font of the family. If you have more, they will all contain the same characters and are not optimised fully.

So, if you do not specify font-weight and font-style in the font-face, you should set the 'UseFontFamily' to true.

bentleymaniac · 05-24-2016, 06:11 PM

Thanks.

There are two options, subsetting based on fontfamily (so all fonts in the same family is treated equally) or based on fontdefinition. By default the second option will be used. It can be turned off by opening the ePUBOptimizer.ini and changing the 'usefontfamily' option to 'true'.

Sorry for the stupid question, but:
How do i get to ePUBOptimizer.ini?

@kamanza - in Edit->Preferences window click the Open Preferences Location button (bottom left), it should be in <whereever>/plugins_prefs directory.

F5 will open the Preferences window

I doubt that will work BR. This plugin is older than that and the ini file is in the same directory as the plugin. It will be created the first time it runs if it is not there.
