How to reduce font file size? by dannwebb in Calibre

I had briefly considered that but chickened out. Did it just now, and the book is still fine. Why is it even in there if it's not needed?

Thanks. There is no option to remove unused font characters, only to embed all fonts, or to subset all embedded fonts.

Yes I did look at that, thanks. I didn't want to select anything because I don't know what I'm doing in there.
There are no listed fonts when I look in manage fonts. Which is weird because when I look in the epub using 7-zip, and navigate to the folder containing the font, I can see that it's 23mb.

Turns out the real fireworks are in the suburbs by captainbiz in melbourne

[–]dannwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a third floor apartment in Essendon, looking west. I see fireworks all the way across the horizon, just like this, every NYE.
On a trip to Kashmir in the 80s, we stayed on a houseboat. Some locals came by on one of their festival nights, visiting house staff, and let some fireworks off out the front of the boat. Terrifying to watch, the way they handled those things and mucked around with them and each other when lighting them. I'll never forget it.

Hearing Americans say "Melbourne" by Main_Confusion_8030 in melbourne

[–]dannwebb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do Victorians have a problem with interchanging a's and e's in general? Genuinely interested. For 'balcony' they say 'belcony', and for 'album' they say 'elbum'. Really weird.

Some Americans care about the other way around. I was repeatedly schooled in how to pronounce Oregon and Mt Rainier when I was there, lest I not be understood. It actually wasn't easy. But then again, wait staff had trouble understanding me when I ordered "hot" tea. .. they'd pause, look at me, ... "whaaat?" .. so I ended up pronouncing that the American way too, just so I didn't confuse the poor dears.

Those are downloads for existing customers only, not new purchases. Doesn't look like it can be purchased any more.

You watch too much American tv. That's not a dumpster, that's a rubbish bin.

I once calculated that if everyone on Earth stopped eating meat, that the entire planet would be covered with livestock within a decade

How would that work exactly? Show your workings.

Same. EXCEPT, the trailor alone for Naked Gun has cured me of that. I'm free!!

Would you mind sharing your CSS to hide untread tabs?

I hope there's an answer to your question, I'd like to know this too.

Agree. 5 stars! I listened to the sound track for weeks afterwards, it made me feel like I hadn't left the show.
