Text overflows in viewer

ender´ · 01-06-2013, 06:16 AM

If I set text-align to justify in Calibre Viewer's custom CSS, some text starts overflowing (look at the second line). Similarly, text is not properly aligned on the right side - this screenshot shows the problem very clearly.

Is there anything I missed in the settings, or is this a problem with Calibre? I'm using version 0.9.13 on Windows.

Change the font, this is a bug in Qt with certain fonts.

I have a question about calibre:
to save as only epub with a cover and a opf file
then I got 3 files.
now I like to change the opf file to only txt. not the htm codes inside.
In a DOS-box it wil work, opf to txt but the codes are still in.
How can I change it?

Who knows it?

I've got to say, I find this bug to be rather annoying. If you want to add to their bug report, it seems that in Windows 8 using Times New Roman, capitalized letters are a source of this issue. All lowercase letters are within the bounds of the container, but by replacing lowercase characters with uppercase ones, the right-edge of the text (in ltr mode, at least) moves further and further to the right, as uppercase characters are wider than lowercase ones, instead of wrapping around properly.

An example:

Code:

<html>
<body style="width:956px;background-color:black;color:#949494">
<div style="padding:75px;">
<p style="text-align:justify; background-color:darkgreen">
<span style="text-transform:uppercase;background-color:darkblue">

</html>
