Quick question about side loaded fonts
Hi!
I successfully renamed my Arial and several other fonts to the Kobo Naming Structure <font name>-<font action>.ttf. However, when I tried it again this morning with other fonts, I couldn't get italic versions to show up. These are the fonts that I couldn't get to work, I'm wondering if anyone else had any issues: I opened each font file, checked the file name at the top of the window, changed it to that name-whatever it was supposed to do.ttf (.otf). I *did* change some of them to .ttf instead of .TTF. |

Yes, it's the full power cycle that might be missing, VirgoGirl? Not just sleep/wake, but hold the power button till it fully turns off.

Hmm, nope I didn't power off. When I added the other fonts I hadn't powered off, but the rendered anyway. I'll give it another try, then power off. It's not that much of a loss if they don't work, as long as Arial works then I'm happy.
THANK YOU for the help! |

Powering off and on worked like a charm, thank you!
I don't know why the previous time didn't need a reboot to work, but this time it apparently needed it. Thanks again!! |
