Title: Problem With Fonts And Opie Reader
Post by: funkyrat on April 14, 2005, 12:19:06 am

I have a SL-5600 with the PXA-250 CPU running The Kompany Rom, kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-emb and Opie 1.5. Everything works swimmingly except for OpieReader displays little squares for certain characters. Particularly apostrophes which is annoying to no end.

This happens no matter what font I choose, or what format the file I open is in. This happens in JustReader as well but not in any other application.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Here's my info screen for good measure.

tell me the encoding you have set the document to. It can be changed in Confuguration->Locale->encoding. I set mine to either Palm or Utf-8 depending upon the document.

You also need a font which supports those characters. If you still have little squares after selecting palm as the encoding then try setting Repalm(Baen) on the Settings/Layout tab (especially if this is a mobipocket file). If that still doesn't work then your font doesn't support those characters. You can get around this by selecting "remap" also in the Setting/Layout tab. Better is getting a fon which supports those characters, though.

Doh! Thanks, the Repalm(Baen) setting did the trick.
