Before I get into details, let me note that I am using Windows 7 64bit,
so I am using Calibre 64bit V3.48, which is the last which supports Windows 7.
I recently got the new Oasis 10th gen, which is *very* beautiful. I installed a few custom TrueType fonts in the fonts directory, and they work great with azw3 and mobi books from Amazon.
However, I have many epub books from external sources, and have been using Calibre to convert them to mobi and transfer to my Oasis. Sadly, most of those .mobi files do *not* support custom fonts.
I also tried converting one of the files to azw3 ... this was an adventure!
If I convert from .epub to .azw3 directly, I cannot change fonts at all...
However, if I convert epub -> mobi, then mobi -> azw3, custom fonts *do* work. Line spacing is a little irregular for some reason, but I can live with it.
What I'm hoping to find, though, is some way to either make the .mobi files work (with custom fonts) as they do when I get them from Amazon.
So does anyone have any insights into how I might address this issue?
