PRS-T1 Easy russian fonts

[jagwar]

Dear community,

I've recently bought a T1 for my father and now I'm trying to make it possible for him to read cyrillic books on the device.

I'm searching for the easiest way.

I found this way to flash the device, but my father doesn't like the idea.

Is there a way to put a font on the device and tell epubs to use it? something like this:

@font-face {... ... src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/fonts/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf)};

Or is the only possible way to embed the font in every single epub? Can you tell me a font which will work for sure and a how to embed it easily?

Thank you very much!

You don't have to embed any fonts to read Cyrillic books, only the 'Original' font doesn't support Cyrillic, all others do. You just need to change the font: <Menu button> -> Font -> <Select Font Type> then select any but Original.

Thanks, it worked after a restart!

With help of jackie_w and JSWolf if found an easier solution:

Just add this lines to the css file in the epub:

@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/AmasisMTW1G.otf)}
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/AmasisMTW1G-Italic.otf);}
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/AmasisMTW1G-Bold.otf);}
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/AmasisMTW1G-BoldItalic.otf);}

The book will be automatically displayed right!
