Not all devices support variable fonts. But to set the bold style, try:font-weight: 800;If you want normal weight, try:font-weight: 400;And if you want to set a "light" weight, then try:font-weight: Karellen Team-Kodi Member.

IMDB ratings are working again, so you should get that with TheMovieDB The font-weight to "bold" or 800, then the checkers in Calibre have a fit and it still shows as Light in Libra 2.I'll try the !important suffix. There is a better solution that works. In the ZIP file for Quicksand from the link you posted is a directory titles static. It contains the following fonts...Quicksand-Bold.ttfQuicksand-Light.ttfQuicksand-Medium.ttfQuicksand-Regular.ttfQuicksand-SemiBold.ttfJust pick the ones you want to embed based ont he weight of the font.This is how you do the CSS for the fonts.

2025-03-28300;Maybe there is a font definition that is overwritting your new style. If the above doesn't work, try adding the !important sufix.Kobo Libra should support variable fonts; try with .kepub extension instead of .epub.

While both work in the Editor viewer, they don't show in the Libra 2.I noticed that when I added @font-face in the stylesheet, Calibre automatically defaulted to the "light" weight. PHP Code: @font-face { src: url(OEBPS/Quicksand-Light.otf); font-family: "Quicksand Light"; font-weight: 300; font-style: normal; font-stretch: normal; } But if I try and edit the font-weight to "bold" or 800, then the checkers in Calibre have a fit and it still shows as Light in Libra 2.I'll try the !important suffix. 05-17-2024, 07:38 PM #4 Resident Curmudgeon Posts: 78,383 Karma: 142887248 Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Roslindale, Massachusetts Device: Kobo Libra 2, Kobo Aura H2O, PRS-650, PRS-T1, nook STR, PW3 Quote: Originally Posted by Karellen Thanks @RbnJrgI have tried both the normal "Bold" and a weight number.
