Restricting font size

maxivittor · 09-15-2011, 04:11 PM

Hi everybody!

I´m trying to restrict the font sizes in an epub. It has a double column layout with vertical images and when I resize type on iPad the layout breaks apart and images jump to other pages.

Is there any way to specify a font size and to restrict users from resizing it?

I´m new here so if I posted in the wrong place please let me know!
Thanks!

I don't know if you can do so with iBooks since iBooks is rather odd. But if you can do it, set your font sizes using a fixed size such as points (pt). In proper ePub, this will prevent the font from changing size. But this is iBooks, so it may not work.

If you are targeting iPad's iBook application directly this fixed layout blog may assist.
