Create Cover in Edit Metadata

mcdummy · 04-24-2015, 06:19 AM

Hi,

I noticed a strange behavior when you create a cover using the templates in "Edit Metadata" and the title includes a (or more) long word which just fits into a line.

When you press "Customize the styles and colors of the generated cover", the preview fits the word into a single line and everything seems to be o.k.

However, when you press Ok, it happens quite often that the last letter of the word is moved to the next line.

Regards,

McDummy

When a single word cannot fit on a line it is broken up at an arbitrary point. I suggest simply reducing the font size. As for why it looks ok in the preview, it is probably because the preview is a scaled version (where the actual canvas size and font sizes are scaled), and since the drawing code uses integer values, the scaling probably causes the word to just fit, whereas the full size does not.
