How do you get true bold and italics in Moon+ Reader?
I think Moon+ Reader is the very best in the Android e-reader business, for any format, because of the extreme flexibility it gives you when choosing your reading options. Want the status bar on top? Done. There are a thousand and one little options that make it a serious e-reading app.
But Moon+ has a big niggle, and that is its inability to detect bold and italic variations of a given font. Quoting myself from a recent post: Quote:

It works fine with any added full set of fonts, you just have to add 4 files per font to have the four variants, and copy them to where moon can access them
So I can have regular, italic, bold, and bold plus italic for e.g. bookerly |

Moon+ Reader does this just fine with a complete set of fonts. Have you checked for identical spelling of the four files?

This is the case with some other e-reader apps as well. I have also confirmed this for ALReader, which has the further restrictions that the fonts can only be TTFs (OTFs are not acceptable), and they must only be in the sdcard/fonts folder. (You cannot choose the folder like Moon+.) Last edited by Proximanova; 05-15-2020 at 12:45 PM. |

As you already found out, naming is the key in Moon+. In Librera Reader it's easier, there you can define any font you want per font style.
