Rendering Drop Caps - Page 4

mikepmiller · 09-03-2026, 09:48 AM

Sorry for reviving an old thread! I've noticed a few cases where justread is a little over-aggressive in rendering drop-caps.

A tag indicating a drop cap is surrounding a character, but that rule is commented out in the css.
A drop cap is specified in the css with an @media rule, which targets a specific reader.
There seem to be a few other edge cases that I can't quite distill. For example, in the snippet below, the D is rendered as a drop cap.

Code:

<p class="hanging">D<span class="small-caps">R</span>.

Let me know if I can provide any additional info, and thanks for a fantastic app!

Hello, can you please send me (email in the app - support) the epub file and ideally screenshot, what is wrong, so I can do then a before/after?

I sent an email documenting the potential issues; let me know if anything is unclear. Thanks very much for taking a look!
