ePub to pdf: Doesn't respect soft hyphens in ePub
My purpose is to create hyphenated pdf output for Sony PRS-950. This is the only way to obtain hyphenated display at Sony readers because they do not display hyphen at line end.
To this end, I'm embedding soft hyphen codes to ePub book and convert resulting output to pdf. Calibre creates perfect pdf with right size images and embedded font (I'm embedding user font during conversion) but without any hyphenation.
Interesting that hyphenation stays put when Calibre converts the same hyphenated ePub to azw3 but kills hyphenation in pdf.
My question: Is there any way to keep hyphenation in pdf at conversion ePub->pdf?
