This is my patch file
http://pastebin.com/Lh8fzDDz
It occours with all epubs, i don't use kepub
I use normal mode reading.
Perhaps the problem is that i remove line-height from css by calibre.

I have tried your patch on my Glo, but I can't reproduce the problem with the few epubs I've tested, including one where I removed all the line-height properties from the stylesheet.

Hi Geoffr, I tried to apply the last `Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug` patch, but there's an error: error line 983: malformed replace_string (original string)
Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry about that, the patch I posted could only be applied with the new patch32lsb v0.10. I've replaced it with one that works with the older version too.

It is just the files that the firmware itself reads, such as "Kobo eReader.conf", that you should avoid using Notepad for.

Note: It still won't work on those books where the publisher has used <div> instead of <p> for paragraphs.

Also note: This is not the ideal way to get these settings to take effect, as it can result in some line spacing or justification settings in the book being overridden when they really shouldn't be. The only way to get perfect results is to edit the book and fix the problems at source.

See the note in the patch about commenting out a line if you are using the `ePub adjustable top/bottom margins` or `ePub fixed top/bottom margin` patches, as this patch changes the same part of the stylesheet used by those patches.

Spoiler:
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Enforce user line spacing and justification in ePubs`
patch_enable = `yes`

</Patch>
Thanks for the patch provided. Is is possible to have control over line spacing and justification seperately? I prefer to have control over line spacing only, for example. In case I really need to override the justification setting, most of the time the epub file needs some modification to itself...

Good Morning - I hope someone can help. I am trying to patch my new H2o (version 3.12). I keep getting this message:
E:\\tools\pa321sb.exe: line 249 in 'E:\2.12.0_source\libnickel.so.1.0.0 cannot parse line.

I only want to adjust the top margin.

Edit:
I figured out the above problem but now at the end I get the message:
Patching End
The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.
No result.

Does that mean that the patch did not work?

Thanks.

I could make a patch that only forces the line spacing and doesn't affect the justification, but I would need to alter some oter patches to get it to fit. Do you use the fixed or adjustable top/bottom margin patches?

Edit: Here is a patch to replace the `Enforce user line spacing and justification in ePubs` patch which only affects line spacing. You will need to disable the `Unitless ePub line height` and any of the fixed/adjustable top/bottom margin patches to use it though.

I don't know what is going on there, but something is messed up. Can you post the whole screen output you get after running 3.12.0.bat?

BTW there is no way to adjust the top margin of kepubs. For epubs you can use the `ePub adjustable top/bottom margin` or `ePub fixed top/bottom margin` patches.

I do not use the fixed or adjustable top/bottom margin patches. So the patch above is exactly what I want.

To clarify his answer, he is not using KePubs (direct from Kobo, or modified via a plugin), he is using ePubs.
