Description Giovanni Venturi 2010-09-13 11:25:26 UTC

Version:           0.5.81 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I read that epub (like as ODT and so on for some document format) doesn't use the document font but a default font: http://okular.kde.org/formats.php
I'd like to see this feature implemented. The e-book era seems to be at the door, so I'd like to use Okular to read an ebook.
Thank you.
I don't know. If I can fix this issue, if it's simple I could try. Can you give me some hints? What has to be done? Where and what I have to look into the code?
It's an okular specific code? kdelibs? ebook-tools?
Let me know.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open an EPub document.

Actual Results:  
Documents Font is ignored.

Expected Results:  
Okular has to use the document used from the document.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35.4
compiler: gcc

If it was simple we would have done it.

This probably needs combined for in ebook-tools, Okular and Qt.

No, "document fonts" actually means "document fonts _information_", i.e. the ability to list the fonts used/embedded in a document.

Please provide a non-private document showing the issue, and make sure to use ebook-tools 0.2.1.
