Custom font (PRS+) breaking itself
So far I have attempted every single suggestion and tutorial regarding changing fonts in epub's via PRS+ that I could find.
I can get the formatting to work, the font does not. I got it to work once, then I change books and it stops working. When I say it stops working, the font returns to the default, no matter what I select. Nothing I do will make it work again. I have resaved the css file, I have renamed everything related.. nothing works. I am using an epub I made myself in Sigil, it has no fonts. It is only a few lines of text. I believe it has something to do with the filesystem. /Data/fonts has not worked at all. /fonts works once. Of course I have tried different fonts.. everything I can find I tried. I just got this today (PRS-350), I did the update and installed PRS+, no issues with that. Please help if you can... this is driving me insane. I have been on this for over 7 HOURS Every time I open the css file in Notepad++ it identifies as UTF-8, as I was unable to save it minus BOM I saved it as ANSI, I don't know if that is an issue. I have saved the file using PC and UNIX line endings, in ANSI and UTF-8. (There is a box for Unicode BOM, that is not selected) PRS+ version:2.1.02alpha CSS file Spoiler:
The epub I am using: Spoiler:
Please note, I do not want to embed the fonts in each epub as I use different fonts depending on the light level. Edit: I may have it working a little... Is there any way to add font size increments? The step between S and M is too large. "Font size" does not work either. Edit again.. and suddenly all of the fonts have stopped working again... I am starting to think this POS is faulty. Backed up CSS files referencing still-in-place ttf files don't work anymore, but only in certain books.. that worked before. Last edited by Ami_K; 12-28-2018 at 02:34 PM. |

Sort of. I put a modified Times font on and it died again. I am hoping it's not a filesystem problem..
I follow exact instructions and all it does is break more things. Maybe I should buy a kobo. Last edited by Ami_K; 12-29-2018 at 01:05 AM. |

I believe one of the fonts was corrupt or otherwise caused an issue. I can use it fine on the pc but not on the 350.
My style list is getting stupidly long, but it now overwrites every book I have with my fonts of choice so it's working. I can see why people are annoyed that Sony does not make ereaders any longer. Now I just need to get root, find the right device and mount it to a folder so I can access USB drives from the device.. |

I added more books and now the font is broken again, doesn't work on anything. There's definitely a problem.
