Well then talk about niche markets ... frankly, I think that the sentiment to disregard the usability completely in favor of features is even more problematic in the Linux world. I just guessed Windows developer since it has a greater market share. To clarify, I think this is a general problem and not specifically yours.
I’m really sorry you feel personally attacked, I didn’t mean that (although I’m not sure when or how I am supposed to have done that). I was criticizing your
development decisions and your attitude
as a developer. It just sounds like selling something you don’t believe in and even publicly emphasizing this dislike. I thought by advertising your application in this forum you would present yourself primarily as this software’s developer and not as a private person. Still, when I look back the only personal attacks came from you calling me all kinds of things for being a Mac user. So I’m not sure you are being fair here.
@Topic: What I want from iBooks is simple: It has a popover menu which let’s me choose a font of my taste. It shouldn’t be to difficult for Apple to just add the option ”use publisher settings”. I would also like to choose from any font available on the system and to be able to add new fonts myself (system-wide of course) ...
But again, as far as I understand the situation, this problem was only introduced in the latest iBooks update, so I still believe it’s a bug. I’ll start complaining if it’s still in the next update.
BTW I think iBooks doesn’t make any breaks after paragraphs. The first sentence of a (should-be) new paragraph is indented, but not separated in height. I’m not sure if this is the fault of iBooks or of the specific eBooks (I’m not sure if it happens with all eBooks), though.
