Fair enough. Thanks for your quick responses.

Hi Kovid,

browse by covers uses the full vertical dimension on my MacBook Pro. But down there is the dock, so I can't change size anymore.

Thanks
Andinho

what is the resolution of your screen? You can use the Esc key at any time to quit the cover browsing mode

It's 1440x900, Kovid. And esc ends browse mode but leaves the window the same size (from top directly under the menu until bottom end of the screen

edit, 1440

Hi everyone.

Thank you mr. Kovidgoyal for your great work !!!
I'm using "calibre" to convert HTML files, (encoded with utf-8, so I can keep romanian characters) into LRF, and I'm embedding only 1 serif font.
Everything worked perfectly for me - thanks again - until the upgrades following v.0.4.67.
I don't know what changed there, but since that upgrade, every version of calibre I tried doesn't seem to work for me: it embedds the font I choose, but it doesn't contain diacritics, so instead of "ţ" "Ţ" "ă" "Ă" is nothing.
For now I'm using v.67, but can you please explain me what happened?

Thank you for your interest,
Costi from Romania

the font handling changed in 67. Are you sure you're embedding the same font? Which font is it?

costash · 06-16-2008, 02:22 AM

This is weird...
I'm using only one font at once, but I was testing a lot of them, such as: Times New Roman, Garamond, Palatyno, Arial Narrow, etc.
Now what's really strange is this: what looks OK in .067, doesn't work in .070 !
I attached a zip file with the "htm" file i was using and 2 examples of fonts that work, and 2 that don't.
I'm using XP SP3.

Hello Kovid,

Started having problems with fonts with 70 (would try to get Futura embedded and get different strange results), so I uninstalled and reinstalled 68. Since then, I have tried 68,69 and 70 and when trying to convert anything (even already converted files) I get this:

"list index out of range
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 796, in convert_single
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\lrf_single.pyo", line 62, in __init__
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\lrf_single.pyo", line 49, in initialize_common
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\lrf_single.pyo", line 104, in load_saved_global_defaults
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\lrf_single.pyo", line 142, in set_options_from_cmdline
IndexError: list index out of range"

Can you help me?

Thanks, man.

locate and delete the files calibre.ini and calibre2.ini (you will lose all saved settings)

Peto · 06-20-2008, 05:24 PM

Thanks.

Calibre works again. I tried .72 and had to fall back to .68. There is some sort of problem when embedding Futura. Not to worry, .68 works perfect.
