Font

The "Font" setting controls the font that you want to use when reading eBooks. By default, you can select from a few pre-defined system fonts. You can also extend the available fonts by installing your favourite font files for the ePub Reader to access.

Note that not all default system fonts may be available. Earlier versions of Android have sparser font support than more current versions. Also, individual device manufacturers may manage fonts differently than standard Android, so results will vary from device to device. If a font is not available, the reader will fall back to a default value. The minimum set of font families that should be present in all versions of Android should include "Serif", "Sans-Serif" and "Monospace", so you should see distinct results with any of those choices.

To install fonts, you must copy the appropriate set of font files to the following directory on your SD card, if you are using the full version of eLibrary Manager:

/Android/data/kpw.ebook/files/font

or, if you are using the free version of eLibrary Manager

/Android/data/kpw.ebook0/files/font

Font files must adhere to the following constraints:

• All font files belonging to the same font family must be named using the same prefix. The reader uses this prefix as the font name you will see.
• Each font file must be named using one of the following case-sensitive suffixes corresponding to the font style:
  • -Bold
  • -BoldItalic
  • -Italic
  • -Regular

An example of a set of files for a full font family is

• LexiaDaMa-Bold.otf
• LexiaDaMa-BoldItalic.otf
• LexiaDaMa-Italic.otf
• LexiaDaMa-Regular.otf

Notes:

• It is not necessary that all font styles be present for a font family. You will see the best results if you have all styles, but it is not required.
• It is not necessary for all font files to be of the same type. For example, you can mix OTF files and TTF files in a font family.
