Title: How can I read Hebrew .docx files with their original fonts on a Kindle Paperwhite?
UserDisplayName: Arye Eidelman
ThreadText: # How can I read Hebrew .docx files with their original fonts on a Kindle Paperwhite?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-03-07)
  
  I have Hebrew documents (`.docx` file format) on a PC which I want to read on my Kindle Paperwhite with their original fonts (2 fonts).
  
  (i am not asking if Hebrew works - that's a separate discussion)
  
  I already tried embedding the fonts in Word (pressing `file > options > save > embed fonts`) before converting it or using `Send to Kindle`, which didn't work (i.e. it lost it's original fonts during conversion).
  
  Is there a different way to do it?

  If you are comfortable making HTML from your Word documents, I was able to print Hebrew text strings to Kindle KF8/Fire (phrases, not whole documents) using HTML with CSS tags.
  
  ```
  
  @font-face {
      font-family: 'Hebrew';
      src: url('.../Path/HebrewFont.ttf');
  }
  p.hb { 
      font-family: 'Hebrew', serif;
  }
  
  ```
  
  In your HTML, you need to call the .hb class in your P tag:
  
  `<p class="hb">hebrew text</p>`  
  `<p>non-hebrew text</p>`
  
  If all the text is Heb, I suspect that it will work better if you wrap each paragraph in the P with hb class rather than applying it to the body.
  
  I don't know how complex your formatting needs are, but if they are simple, you could get away with Word find/replace paragraph breaks (^p) with
  
  `</p>^p<p class="hb">^&`
  
  This will wrap every paragraph in your Word doc with the needed HTML tags needed. Export (save as) the file from Word as text, not HTML/Webpage (mind your encoding). From here you need to work in a text editor, not Word You will need a HTML head and foot for the top and bottom of the file.
