Boyue Likebook Mars and Sideloaded Fonts
Hello:
I know that you can sideload TTF an OTF font files on the <system drive>/font folder on the Boyue Likebook Mars, to be used with the included Boyue reader software. With that being said, is it possible (and how) to use multiple styles (regular, bold, italic, bold italic) of the same sideloaded font on the included Boyue reader software? If not, what Android reader software may use multiple styles of the same sideloaded font? Awaiting your kind reply, [INCANUS] |

But, they do get the new fonts working properly. Is there any way to do this with Boyue Reader software in the same way that the Boyue Reader handles, say, it's System Default font? Not as a replacement, mind, but a new font with all of it styles, appearing to the font selection screen as one <name of the font> option. Awaiting your kind reply, [INCANUS] |

Lroblems with the latest 2.3.2-2020033112 firmware
Well, we still have problems with the latest 2.3.2-2020033112 firmware... I've uploaded 2 videos showing how what you write in a pdf gets deleted as soon as you turn the page (just a bit before turning the page, exactly). I've sent am email to Boyue's technical support with both links, I think it's better this than trying to explain with words.

In fact I sent emails last January-February and they replied, even though they were in their most severe phase of the coronavirus problem. Good for them Personal opinion: even the firmware in their products have some problems and need some “polishing” (well... big error corrections ), I think they are a trustworthy company, trying to improve their products and taking into account what their costumers say. They don’t seem to abandon old products, and that’s a good point. |

Are you talking about a book using one font and it's italicized style of that font when the book has some italicized things in it, or just having multiple styles to pick from to put the whole book in? Either way from their wording it sounds like you found a bug, they confirmed the bug and the fix will be added to the next OTA whenever it comes.

...and that's what I think was hinted at but I quite unable to infer. Thankyou, rvcjew! If and when we get a firmware OTA update I'll check on precisely this feature of the reader's font customization and will report back on the results on this here thread. I remain gratefully yours, [INCANUS] |

Hey I just thought of a potential reason it might be working the way it is. If you put these fonts in the font area and don't rename them and then go to pick Candara (normal one only) does it still not italicize things?

I'm afraid that doesn't work. I just tested with a GillSans set of files:
It was a worth a shot, but, as they say, "close, but no cigar". I'll stay tuned for next firmware version and report here if the problem persists. Kind regards, [INCANUS] Last edited by Incanus; 04-26-2020 at 08:49 AM. Reason: Changing post title |
