early line cutoff (often half a letter)
Hi
I use Calibre e-book viewer at Windows 7.
on every line on the columns (1 or 2) the last letters will be cut off early in a straight vertical line. Most often it's only the last letter that appears as half.
In some font-styles or font-sizes words disappear at the ends.
This may be two problems. Where the constant half letter are the most bothersome.

The book viewer does not have 'columns'

Are you confusing this with the Library manager?
All columns can be re-sized.
There is a possibility that you have selected a font with poor size metrics. Try another font. Preferences:Look and Feel: Main Interface (tab)

@tumler100 - try overwriting the margins in the Text layout in paged mode group of Viewer Preferences

The viewer has what normal people call columns, see Viewer preferences Text layout in paged mode->The number of pages of text to show on a screen set it to something > 1.

The icon at top right corner, looks a bit like a lectern, must not be pressed

Text appears in columns like newspaper, magazine etc - there's more to life than ledgers and spreadsheets

Ah! the 2 (+) page mode. Never use it

But the answer maybe to tick Override margins and use the defaults (10px) to create a gutter between pages. Even without this setting, my non-0 page side margins (2pt,16pt) don't crop, just looks crowded

No mine don't crop either - could it be a font issue?

tumler100 - what fonts are you using ?

It is a bug in Qt WebKit that affects certain fonts. You will need to change the fonts in the viewer preferences.
