EPub conversion stylesheet.css problem

nycaleksey · 03-25-2010, 12:19 PM

Hi,

I am using Calibre for converting Russian language FB2 books to EPubs and in order to make EPubs readable in Nook I am adding custom CSS code from this hint (http://nookdevs.com/Font_Changes#Non-Asian_Languages) to force Nook to use Unicode fonts.
The hint works fine, however there is a slight problem - some parts of resulting EPub are still unreadable on Nook because default font is being used. After some troubleshooting I am able to fix this by manually editing stylesheet.css and replacing "font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;" to "font-family: "DroidFont", serif;" in all class definitions.

My question is - is it possible to configure Calibre in a way that all classes are defined with DroidFont and not TimeNewRoman, so that there is no need for manual stylesheet.css editing ?

Thank you.

There's no general way, it depends on what fonts the input document you are converting has defined.
