automatic lrf for news fetching?
hi, first hats off to the developer and the contributors.
i have a sony prs-900, and when i fetch the rss of a turkish blog or a site, using "fetch news", some of the turkish characters (strangely not all of them: just ş, ğ and İ) appear as ? when I upload it in ePub format. i don't know the technical reason but in the LRF format everything is fine. question 1: is there a way to fetch the news always in LRF? question 2: what are possible solutions to the character problem? as i said, some characters such as ç, ı are fine, only ş, ğ and İ don't work. thanks |

hi folks,
using the forum i figured out a way to correctly render the characters in epub by specifying extra css with a new font (in the look & feel preferences). however, i need to first get the news via fetching, and then create an epub out of the existing epub. is there a way to make the news fetching use the settings in look & feel? thanks! |

If you are using a windows machine, you can create a .bat file whose content is something like this (I've copied from one I use, you need to change the locations and such and put your css into a file; you also need to change ".epub" to ".lrf" and you probably should use instead an actual file name, like "C:\My Documents\Mine.lfr"): "C:\Program Files\Calibre\ebook-convert.exe" "The Economist (free).recipe" ".epub" --extra-css="C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\My Documents\My Dropbox\ArialBold.css" If you want automatic download, you can use Window's task scheduler to run this file daily. I then just add this to my ereader manually. I think you could use the command line interface to add it to the Calibre library and have Calibre do the transfer to the ereader, but I don't know how. |
