Hello,

I'm trying to convert a library of PDFs to TXT and having kind of an.. odd(?) issue. When converting using the command line on Windows it comes out absolutely beautiful, exactly what I'm looking for. When converting in Ubuntu command line, it's ... not great.

Ubuntu: "ebook-convert file1.PDF file1.TXT", it runs all together and is difficult to read.

Windows: using the same command, "ebook-convert.exe file1.PDF file1.TXT", it comes out beautifully!

Is there a difference in engines or possibly default settings? I have checked that both boxes are running the same version, 2.56.0 (ebook-convert --version).
