[jotekman]

Yes, they are in the /crengine/fonts/ directory. I also used the naming scheme that you had. is there anything I have to do to load them or something (they are also duplicated in the internal memory.
Thanks

Hi:

Solsticio, a friend of our spanish forum, has discovered that Buggins has changed the fonts directory in lastest version of CoolReader. Now, the fonts have to be in /fonts directory under the root of your SD. The fonts have to have the extension in lowercase letters. Arial.TTF don't work, it must have been Arial.ttf.

Thank you! Works great now!
Many many fonts to choose from

Tried all that, but none of that worked. Then I found yet another 1GB Kingston SD, and that finally did the trick.

Thanks for the new firmware!

Hey Tirwal
I had an idea and was wondering can you implement in your firmware or is it even possible.
Using epub tweaker from here
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70600
I can edit the css and add external font to my epub

@font-face {
  font-family: "Tirwal";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(res:///abook/fonts/TIRWAL.TTF);
}
@font-face {
  font-family: "Tirwal";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(res:///abook/fonts/TIRWALBD.TTF);
}
@font-face {
  font-family: "Tirwal";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url(res:///abook/fonts/TIRWALI.TTF);
}
@font-face {
  font-family: "Tirwal";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url(res:///abook/fonts/TIRWALBI.TTF);
}

body { font-family: "Tirwal", serif;}

So that should allow me to link to an external font in my epub

so I was wondering if you could write a software that would lets say overwrite the font with a font from a list of fonts available that should allow us to change fonts in epub
from inside the reader.

The easiest way is probably to get userStyle.css to work, see Needed: Customization for ePub. This has actually been done for the Sony Readers, see Replace DEFAULT epub fonts! (PRS-505).

Xpdf in v.2.81 and v2.9 has a bug which doesn't exist in v.2.7.

In 2.81 and 2.9, when opening files with Xpdf in the FBreader boot option, there is always a bar showing the number of pages (e.g. 3 of 101) at the bottom in portrait mode or at the right side in landscape mode. This is annoying because you don't make use of the whole screen, hence you don't get the best possible zoom.

In 2.7 this bar is not visible and pages in Xpdf are shown full screen.

Does anyone else have this problem?

The only reason I needed it was as fbreader was not showing my epub properly.
Turns out after changing options I had to close the file and reopen it again for the settings to take effect.
Now I am quite satisfied with my reader. This fbreader does not have all the options that are in openinkpot but it is still way better than the adobe reader.

Hi:

I think it's possible to make some scripts that copy internal font to external font named tirwal or something. I'll try it. Thanks for your support.

Hi:

Sorry for not writting sooner, but I have many work. I changed Viewer from version 2.7 to 2.81 or 2.9 because wasn't possible to went back from Xpdf mode to ADE mode with the viewer of 2.7 version. In hanlin firmware, all the things are mixed in various programs, and it's needed to use different versions to do differents things.

Is there something wrong with 4shared.com as I've yet to be able to access it. I've tried with both Firefox and IE. I would have liked to have tried the firmware but until I can access it I'll just have to stick with OI. All I get, after waiting about 5 minutes for the page to load is an error "The requested URL could not be loaded", which suggests to me that the page does not exist.

Hi:

Maybe you are using an old link.

Lastest version link is:

http://www.4shared.com/file/22558697...S19022010.html

I try it and it works.

OK, Tirwal, thanks!

How do I go back from XPDF to Adobe PDF Reader?

I use Tirwal 2.7 and when in "Hanlin mode" I selected "Read in Xpdf" from the menu of an opened PDF file. Now all my pdfs open with Xpdf, but it doesn't have a menu entry "Open in Adobe Reader" or something.
