![]() This font would be available once the publisher font checkbox is selected in font settings in PW. In case you have a favourite font that is not on PW. One thing to add might be - if you going to convert to azw3 anyway, define your own custom font in font-family in conversion. In this case you will need to make sure that "Fiter Style Information" -> "Fonts" is checked in this book convertion dialog. Note that if you did any conversion of this book in Calibre before, Calibre will store convertion options specifically for this book and will not use default options that we set up in step a) for this book any more. If asked Calibre to strip font styles (see step a), Calibre will strip hardcoded font styles and you will be able to change fonts using Font Dialog on the device. May be you could convert to AZW3 too, I didi not try this - in any case, do convertion by Calibre. ![]() So if you bought from Amazon a book for your KIndle Paperwhite that is shown in Helvetica (sans-serif) font and you can't change the font using Font Dialog, do following:Ī) (this needs to be done only once) configure Calibre to remove 'font-family' style element during conversion: in Calubre, go "Preferences" -> "Convertion - Common Options" -> select "Look & Feel" -> select tab at the bottom "FIlter Style Information" -> check "Fonts"ī) import the book into Calibre fron the Paperwhite device (make sure you have Aprentice Alf's plugin installed and configured for your device, otherwise Calibre will not be able to convert the book)Ĭ) convert book to MOBI (even if it is already in MOBI format). Thankfully, the fix with Calibre is very easy (as long as you are ready to strip the DRM (if any), which you probably should anyway). I bought another couple of kindle books from Amazon, both of them have the same behaviour - text in Helvetica font which can't be changed. If the font is hardcoded as Times New Roman, and the device does not have this font, and the font is not embedded into the book file, does it mean that the Kindle Paperwhite will default to a 'sensible' sans-serif font (which Helvetica definitely is)? And without an option to ignore the hardcoded font and use the font user selected in the fonts dialog? HarryT, is this how a font is hardcoded into the book? html file that contains text of the book. The same MsoNormal style is added as a style of every paragraph in the. 80 kilobytes (3000 lines of text) of definitions, probably enumerating all fonts installed on the author's computer, and at the end there is a definition of style 'MsoNormal' that explicitely defines font-falimy: "Times New Roman". ![]() css file has lots of keywords like 'mso-*', contains approx. Looks like HTML/CSS was as created by MS Office tools (Word?). azw3 file, and used Calibre's 'Tweak Book' tool to look at the file internals. ![]() I imported one such book into Calibre (with book liberating plugins), that resulted in.
