PRS-650 CharisSIL embedding

Richelieu · 10-09-2010, 08:48 PM

Hi,
I have a little problem.

When I embed the CharisSIL font directly in the EPUB, it works perfectly, but when I put it in the font folder on the device(where all my other fonts are, and they are working) it's doesn't.

The referencing and all is correct. I even took older files of the font I found on the internet to check, but it's no difference.

Has somebody get the font working, without embedding it directly in the EPUB?

For illustration:

PHP Code:


			
 .font0 {font-family: Charis;}

@font-face {
font-family: "Charis";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src:url(res:///Fonts/CharisSILR.ttf);
}

And the file-name ist exactly CharisSILR.ttf.

Maybe someone knows what's wrong...

... thanks

This is my css for epub font hack in Sony (and it's working)

Code:

@font-face { font-family: "Charis"; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CharisSILR.ttf);}

@font-face { font-family: "Charis"; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CharisSILB.ttf);}

@font-face { font-family: "Charis"; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CharisSILI.ttf);}

@font-face { font-family: "Charis"; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CharisSILBI.ttf);}

body { font-family: "Charis", serif; line-height: 1.25em; }

I think you miss Data directory before fonts, and fonts directory should be lower case

It's kind of weird because I have a lot of other fonts on the reader and with them it's working the way I set it up in the first place.

Anyway, now it's working even with Charis so thank you.
