"Publisher default" Font family in Nook
I'm trying to make my Nook (original, latest version) use the entire width of the screen, which is more than the built-in margin selection permits me.
So far I've managed to edit an Epub's CSS to make it have 0 margins. The problem is no matter what font I write in the CSS the "Publisher default" on the device remains Malabar. And as you know once I uncheck the "Publisher default" I also lose the 0 margin I defined. I've put these in every single style class but the Nook must have a different syntax for fonts. font-family: "Amasis"; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; Iv'e tried Arial, etc, but it always shows Malabar. any ideas? Does Nook not recognize at all font types? Thanks |

When you say "original, latest version" are you referring to the Classic or the Simple Touch?
If it is a Simple Touch there are 6 fonts, I think?, available on the device. I think? 3?? on the classic? Because you can change the CSS I assume it is a non-drm epub. Here is what I do to all epubs I read and have found it to work most of the time on my Classic, my wife's STR, and on my Kobo. In Calibre 1. hi-lite the book you wish to convert in your library 2. choose convert books 3. select look and feel 4. about 1/2 way down select the Filter Style Information tab 5. select all 5 boxes. 6. pull slider to bottom and see Other CSS properties 7 In the space add line-height,text-align When I do this before side loading to the device I am able to change fonts, margins, line spacing, text justification, and font-size on almost all epubs. |
