IBOOKN Font for OpenInkpot?

[ascherjim]

After many firmware crashes (and much experimentation) I am giving up on BeBook firmware for my Bebook and switching exclusively to OpenInkpot. However, I very much miss the IBOOKN font that I favor and have used with Mobipocket titles on my BeBook, and cannot find an OI font that replaces it satisfactorily for me. Does anyone know where I might find this font and be able to load it for use in my OI firmware?

The IBOOKN font is included as a ttf font in the Hanlin SDK - http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/E...evelop/sdk.asp I'm not sure if you can use it in OpenInkpot though.

Thank you for that info, BobC!!!!

I downloaded the SDK and extracted the IBOOKN fonts, and put them in OI's font directory on my V3. When I tried changing fonts in an EPUB, IBOOKN and IBOOKR were listed as available fonts. I did not much like the looks of IBOOKN, but IBOOKR was an OK high contrast font. FWIW, the same IBOOKR selection also appeared in my V5 running Lbook firmware and looks OK there too. For OI I still prefer the Liberation font, so I went back to it again.

Thanks guys. In the interim since my initial query, I'd settled on the Linux Libertine O font contained already in OI, and using a Bold setting I am now reasonably satisfied. However, Dave, if you would care to provide me rather more specific instructions on how to "extract" the IBOOK fonts, or provide them to me in another manner, I'd be interested in trying them out. I fear that any attempt on my part to go myself into the source file, which I appreciate Bob having provided an entry to, could prove somewhat bewildering to me.
