Hello everyone,

Another minor update today with some small improvements for European languages. If you read mostly in English, you probably don't need to install this update. Conversely, you're a German or Polish reader, you'll probably want to get this one.

Downloads

  • If you are using a Kobo device, download KF_Libron.zip. It has been processed with kobo-font-fix for improved compatibility with Kobo's kepub renderer.
  • If you are using KOReader, download Libron_R.zip. The family appears as Libron R and uses 35% extra line spacing.
  • If you are using CrossPoint Reader, download Libron_CrossPoint.zip. Copy the Libron folder into the fonts folder on the SD card. Each cpfont file includes all four styles at one reading size.
  • If you are using a Kindle, another e-reader or a desktop computer, download Libron.zip.
  • If you want to use Libron on a website, download Libron_Web.zip.

An interim version of Libron International with support for more alphabets (Cyrillic and Greek, notably) is also available. (Still the same version as last time.)

Superscripts, subscripts and fractions

Completed superscript and subscript digits and added their signs and parentheses in all four styles. Adjusted the new small figures for weight, height and spacing, including italic subscript placement. Added the remaining encoded fractions.

Completed sups and added subs, sinf, numr, dnom and frac. The frac feature supports multi-digit fractions with / or ⁄ and works with proportional and tabular figures.
