ePub Thai ebook - any chance?

bthoven · 01-22-2010, 03:15 AM

I've created a document with Atlantis and saved as ePub with embeded Thai font. Thai display properly in my Nook and desktop Adobe ADE; but it won't wrap sentence (or won't reflow?). The same document printed to free Cutepdf displays very well on my Nook.

The attached photo is what displays on my desktop Adobe ADE, same problem as in my Nook.

This is the format of this document. Page size 9.5cmx114cm, font: FreesiaUPC size 12, left/right margin 0.1cm, no margin for top/bottom.

Is there any chance to have ePub for Thai ebook?

Here is the full ePub book. Just in case someone can tweak it for proper display.

I also attach the same ebooks in PDF as mentioned above for you to see how should it be displayed properly. If you use B&N Nook, set font size to Small only.

Thanks.

Have you tried embedding a Thai font in the ePub?

The "Plaew SiNgern - Thaksin Mercury.epub" does contain embedded fonts. It seems to be a problem with support for Thai texts in ADE, not with font embedding.

Then I am out of ideas.
