Porblem with Kobo book on 350 - any ideas ?

carpetmojo · 11-21-2011, 12:32 PM

Anyone heard of a Kobo book d/loaded onto a 6/350 being "stuck" in an XL font which can't be adjusted ?
Stays the same even in XS ?

(That's "Problem with..... " by the way ! Can't change it by edit...duh)

I don't think it has anything to do with Kobo. Some books have set fonts. Could be one of those books. Although I've never heard about set font-sizes, only set font-types.

If you can look at the css file, you will probably find that a font size is given in points (pt) - or maybe all font sizes. For ereaders, sizes need to in relative units like em.

I would expect that Sigil will allow you to edit the css file once you have removed any DRM infection. For myself, I just unzip the epub and use my text editor to fix things, and then rezip it.

pholy, you forget to whom you speak !

Mr. Tech-Dunce, that's me, struggling to keep me head above water !

This was a query I saw elsewhere, and it intrigued me.
But I wouldn't suggest, if it's as you say, I'd be capable of doing anything about it !
I did managed to install the Black & Decker dustbuster, and get it working, which was the highlight of my digital career so far !

But thanks for your comments...
