Better font management

LittleBiG · 12-23-2020, 06:34 AM

There are many things I can do on the fly with KOreader when I am reading a book. But I don't have a clue about this: I am reading a book where a special font type is used for letters. I would like to keep it for knowing that I am reading a letter, but I want to overwrite all other fonts with my custom font choice. Do you have any idea how to do it without trying to edit the book outside KOreader? The most comfortable solution would be a font list in which I could tick the ones I want to keep. Not only a single option to disregard all embedded fonts, as it is now.

I cannot say about KOReader, but for this eBook, you can read it in ePub and you may be able to use your custom font (depends on the CSS) and the embedded font.

@Jon: Someone already warned you about this a few hours ago: please stop with the knee-jerk out-of-context and halfway out of topic replies.

@LittleBiG: You *should* be able to massage something out of it via a style tweak, but it's arguably going to be easier and faster to just tweak the book. But, yeah, you could technically do it all from within KOReader (e.g., View HTML on a highlighted section to see what's what; and then write a custom style tweak based on that).

I see, thanks. Unfortunately writing a custom style tweak is beyond me.
