Could be that maybe there is missing font variants. It works best if each font has regular, bold, italic, and bolditalic. So 4 files per each font. If that is correct, there is likely something wrong with the fonts.

Custom fonts don't work with mobi format (documents you send to your Kindle via wifi). They only work with KFX and AZW3.

When you send to kindle with both formats they works. And I have AZW3 format bought from Amazon. The problem is not to apply the font to ebook, the problem is: the fonts I loaded doesn't show at the menu. |

Unless you want English names, I wouldn't worry about it. The name can be changed in the metadata if you have a font editor. Looks like Heuristika came from a russian site as the letters are cyrilic and it does spell Heuristika without the silent H.

Now I'm looking for a SIMPLE way to add a little weight to a font. But all the softwares are too complex .... * I also wanted to stretch it just a little, because it seems disproportionate (to my eyes) |

You have a PW4. Just use the Aa menu feature to add weight to the font. You don't need to add weight using a font editor.

I have the 5.12.4 new Aa menu on the PW3
I have to say now that I have it for a while I don't just think it's poorer than before but horrible. It's also illogical for some settings that were global in Settings to be MOVED there, and if they are now per book, where are the global defaults set? It's awkward, illogical, wasting space on the screen. I hate it. I suppose it's still impossible to go back a version? |

This is now consistent with Kindle app for iOS; I imagine it will come to Android and Fire as well at some point. Page Refresh and Vocabulary Builder remain in Settings>Reading Settings for some reason. That said, I wish you could ‘pin’ particular layout settings to a book, letting it be independent of global setting (whenever it changes). Last edited by tomsem; 05-18-2020 at 08:51 PM. |
