Moon+ reader pro idiot guide please

Does Moon+ Pro only recognize true type fonts? I just added four fonts (well one family) and it's seeing the one ttf, but the open type otf's of the other three aren't showing up.

I noticed it too and kept playing with settings to no avail. So annoying!

Answering my own question. It does appear to only support True Type, not Open Type.

I went back to the previous version as it's a new bug. I'd email the developer I suggest sending him a screenshot of the problem. The old version doesn't do this.

Yeah only ttf it seems supported. You can use a online font converter to convert them to ttf fonts.

I noticed that bug, but if you turn on hyphenation, it fixes the bug and hyphenates none of the words. Useful for me (it fixes the bug), useless for those who want hyphens.

I don't use hyphenation this a bug that splits words at the end of a line for no reason.

Ah I figure it had something to do with hyphenation. So it's broke...hmm...

I must be lucky or something I don't have hyphenation turned on and everything seems fine so far with the newest update.

My problem is it would do stuff like this every few pages.

“I understand your boy is doing s
plendidly,” he said gruffly.

It's bad enough the book I am reading has bad OCR errors than most so I am having to figure out alot of words and then that bug shows up it just makes it worse. Downgrading fixes it though it now reads.

“I understand your boy is doing
splendidly,” he said gruffly.

For fonts: just convert them to TTF, then they will be recognized.

Hyphenation bug: for a long time there in Moon+ Reader. I communicated about it with the developer. He can't figure out, for the moment, as to what causes it -- can't reproduce it reliably on his own test device(s). For me, when I activate hyphenation, words get split following an apostrophe, such as:

doesn'
t

or

isn'
t

etc.

I just noticed a little bit ago that a couple of places it done that too.

so
mething

& another place it did the same thing with a person's name.
I read about 60 % of the book before seeing this.

Will have to go back to last version & check it out

I just started a new book and figured it was just formatting for that book. I guess I'll restore the previous version.

This is with hyphenation off in the new version it's splitting words at random.

For the book I am currently reading it only does it occasionally, but it's still annoying. I found that if I change the font size it fixes it for that word but it will then split different words. I have both hyphenation and justify off.
