Font problem - Page 2

fjtorres...

1- Latest firmware? -Yes.
2- I use only FB Reader
3- Tries ePub with both FBReader and Adobe Reader. The line-ending problem appear with FB Reader. For Adobe Reader, I got squares

4- Tried ePub and FB2 on PC? No.
5- My Thai ebooks are home-made and usually converted by Calibre. But I get HTML and RTF directly from MS Word.
7- Most of original format is DOC. Sometimes PDF.
6- Tried them all. In short, if the lines aren't cut, I'll see only squares or pages of question masks

I forgot to indicate that some alphabets are cut too. The are not so many but still...

Anymore suggestions?

Somehow I think the problem probably is that Thai don't have ANY indication where a word (and sentences) will start nor end. Just have to read it. I don't know but I'll keep trying anyway...

Curious...

I suspect a font width calculation problem, not a conversion problem. I see a similar thing in English ePUBs if the lines are terminated with <br /> commands. While if I use paragraph tags it works just fine. It may be the font is reporting the wrong width for each character. The work around would be to increase the right margin in the document and then see if it reads ok. For an ePUB you can take the document apart (its a zip file) and change the CSS.

Is there a way to set the default font size as a larger one? So far I have not been able to find that option.

Open the book with fbreader, go to the menu (center button) go to settings (right down on the quick menu) go to the Font setting, choose your font, press the "right" button, scroll up and down for the size apply with the center button.

Your books opened with fbreader should now all have lager size.

DNT, I tried .prc file, but couldn't get it reading correct, I took one from somewhere in Guttenberg or other free sites. Other formats are displayed OK, but .prc - not exactly. I don't know what is the problem, maybe it's the file...
