Therefore for Kobo, we must both have metadata and filenames correct. With proper filenames and wrong metadata what you get is already written here so I didn't test it. With random names and proper metadata, typeface family is recognized correctly but the styles are all messed up.
It appears Kobo's software for recognizing type isn't that good. I just gave some random names to the font files of the Bookerly I optimized for my Glo I edited them with Glyphs and FontForge myself, so I know that metadata is correctly set.
But you could use open-source FontForge too.Īnd yes, font names shouldn't matter at all in a proper software. Hyphenation and improved spacingintroducing hyphenation alone will improve the look of almost every Kindle ebook, eliminating the unseemly and distracting big white spaces in the middle of lines that couldn’t be. So I was wanting to be able to add that source to read on mobi. Bookerly, a brand new font designed especially for the Kindlethe font has been gradually introduced since December 2014.
when the kobo, or whatever, says you now have a font called bookerly - it shoudl be getting that name from metadata, not from a file name ? I read the free version of Don Quixote with the font 'Courrier new' and it is much more comfortable for the eyes than using Bookerly.
i should not then see a font choice called "test", but i should still see a font called original-name in the readerģ. so if I take a genuine font file, original-name.ttf and rename it to test.ttf. have same font choices but bookerly is not playing nice or consistentlyĢ. I want to have a master set of fonts so that all my reading options - kobo, fire.,voyage. yet it has no trouble with driod serif which is named similarly. I think that my mantano app sees bookerly-regular and bookerly-bold as two different fonts, because of the broken naming convention. So what are the rules for how set should / must? be named in order to work I also noticed that adding / removing "regular" to standardise the name was having some effect but I ran out of testing patience before logically working through all combinations I would have thought that internal names would exist within the files, rather than a dependence on file name ? Īnd some font sets appear as a single instance not as a set of 4 ? So the majority of font sets go name.ttf, name-bold.ttf, name-italic.ttf.īut a minority use name-regular.ttf, name-bold.ttf. I saw that both bookerly and drioid-Serif append regular within the file name. I noticed the mismatch within names, and I checked other fonts. yet on PC, in word for example the bookely font works in all bold and/or italic modes, as it should, likewise in the amazon fire app In some cases, the nature of the item means that it is non-returnable, for example, due to hygiene/health and personal care/wellness/consumable nature of the product.I have similar issues with bookerly, but in a different app/ device ( mantano on Fire tablet).
