Problem with embedded styles and fonts on Kobo Aura One

rfog · 02-20-2018, 12:12 PM

AFAIK, when Embedded Style is on and Embedded Fonts are off, you can change the font styles but the paragraphs, indentations are taken from the ePub CSS.

However, I've tested in 4 ePubs and if I enable Embedded Style does not matter what Embedded Fonts option is set, the ePub is locked with all editor styles. I cannot change interline, font size, font family, only margin size.

If I disable embedded fonts, then the ePub does not respect the indentations and other important styles.

Any idea what could be happening? My version is v2015.11-1525-gca6a486. This is the last nighty, but it happened to me with the previous one (I don't have the numbers of that, sorry).

Is there any thing I can do to solve this (touching some LUA files, for example?).

I don't have much time atm and I'm not quite sure I understand all the intricacies of how crengine handles these things anyway, but https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/3149 might contain some information that might help?

Thanks.

I will check later, but is a pity that all 4 epub had the same code for the fonts... And I like the last screenshots with the "force off" option...

Well, I'm not going to check it until I receive my Inkpad 3 (about this weekend), because I was messing with the Kobo Aura One and had to do a full factory restore and now it has the original not-modified firmware, and is my main reading device. I don't want to mess with it until I have a second unit to homebrew (and yes, my Kindle Oasis got updated with the not hackable version after I had the opportunity to stop the updates).
