There was a message about this a while back from a Kobo developer -- two secs -- https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=italic&page=4 giving the naming convention and why it existed. Yes, it may not be standard but if it works, I'm not going to waste my time puking on the windward side. Regards, David Last edited by DNSB; 02-24-2013 at 03:44 PM. |

I am not sure you need to do anything...I have been using a different version of Charis SIL (weightier), and that may be why I have had problems, because your Charis SIL Modified (which I have only just tried this evening) seems to work OK. I didn't even have to change the file names.

Does anyone have an epub for font testing? Something with the name of each font style written in that style, as an easy way to see which fonts are working properly and which not?

I've used Sigil to add a little bit more to it, especially the word "officer" which a lot of fonts can't handle (the "ff" ligature is rendered as a blank). Please see attached file. |

One of my gripes (yes I know I have many) is the support or lack there of for the common fractions. It's challenging to read a cook book without them present, so I took the test eBook and added 9 fractions to it; ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞
With my Touch and 2.4.0 I see the following: Amasis: ¼ ½ ¾ Avenir: ¼ ½ ¾ Caecilia: ¼ ½ ¾ Georgia: ⅛ ¼ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ¾ ⅞ Gill Sans: ¼ ½ ¾ Kobo Nickel: ¼ ½ ¾ Malabar: ¼ ½ ¾ Rockwell: ¼ ½ ¾ Gothic MB101: ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞ Ryumin: ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞ Open Dyslexic: ¼ ½ ¾ Side Loaded: Amaranth: ¼ ½ ¾ -- Missing characters replaced by spaces Charis Sil SmCp Modified: ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞ LexiaD DaMa: ¼ ½ ¾ -- Missing characters replaced by spaces So the only stock fonts with full support are Gothic MB101 and Ryumin. Worse is the fact that some of the side loaded fonts don't include an easily seen character to say "I can't display that". |

You might be running into a difference in behaviour due to different "store brand" Kobo's not having the "never" option. I seem to remember some Kobo's (from FNAC in France maybe?) having this because they wanted their store branding to show up. Weird that you originally had the option and now doesn't though.

I've modified it to add several fractions so they can be easily tested with various fonts. Regards, David Last edited by DNSB; 02-25-2013 at 01:38 PM. |

I was also thinking about having a whole sample paragraph (of several lines) in normal, to give an idea of the general reading experience with that font. |
