Request for epub reading

[davy39]

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to modify the program in order to be able to read epubs & html.
With such kind of small screen, I think that epub are better than pdf due to their dynamic rendering when zooming.
Thank for your work

I haven't tested, but if you build the latest version from git, it should
support EPUB and HTML, because support was recently added to MuPDF.

It looks like main.cpp cfg_register_fileext needed to be implemented as well.
I've done that plus upgrade to mupdf 1.8 (see pull request).
I still not able to open html or epub file, I'm getting "Can't open document" message.
Maybe I'm not building the prg correctly...
Could you try please ?
Thanks

Now that I remember correctly, this actually worked with MuPDF 1.7a. Apparently the issue now is something to do with fonts. When trying to open an HTML file I get the following output:

error: cannot load fallback font
IME: non-ALPHA key pressed
error: can't open document
uncaught exception: can't open document

Do you mean that building without -DNOCJK fix this issue ?
I cannot even get the above message... Could you provide a build for testing please ?

[Legimet]

You can either replace the -DNOCJK flag with -DNOCJKFULL, or remove it. Unfortunately, this more than doubles the size of nPDF.tns.

A build with EPUB support is now included.
