Fast font doesn't work on Kobo reader. #1

Closed pingdude closed 3 weeks ago

pingdude commented 1 year ago

The font turned on plain sans and serif on Kobo e-reader. It can display BR font epubfiles converted by the BR webapp. Something might be off.

With the font you don't need to convert your files with BR webapp anymore. The font does the same, but without any converting hassle direct in realtime.

Try just uploading the font as a custom font on your Kobo device. Use a standard epub (not a preconverted BR one) If it still does not work it might be, that the Kobo-Reader does not support Open-Type Font Features. Or if it supports them, they have to be activated manually somewhere in the settings. Since I dont have a Kobo I can't test it...

Fast Font DOES work on Kobo reader, but only if you use the KoReader extension (it doesn't get recognized in vanilla Kobo). Here is proof of it working on a Kobo in KoReader, and a link to a Reddit thread with instructions:
