Change font of header for LRF Output on PRS 505

duckbill · 05-10-2010, 06:04 AM

The LRF Output options on converting ebooks in Calibre allows headers to be added such as "%t by %a" for adding TITLE by AUTHOR to appear as a header on a PRS 505.

This is being displayed in an awful serif font that is difficult to decipher at the given font size. Is it possible to change the font without flashing the reader?

Calibre is an excellent piece of software and we should all make a donation for the efforts put in by the developers.

You can embed fonts in the LRF. I'm not a 100% certain but I think the embedded fonts will be used for the header as well.

Nope, sorry. The header is displayed in standard serif font irrespective of the embedded font.

Ah well, in that case, I'm afraid you're out of luck, sorry.
