Help : converting from EPUB to FB2 : spacing between words is frequently missing

q345 · 09-18-2010, 02:39 AM

Hi all !

I converted couple for EPUB books to FB2 format for Palm Fiction reader (To read it on my old trusted Palm T|X )
Everything is OK except for the fact that each 6 or 7th word (approximately) on Palm T|X screen is jammed with the next one ( no space between them) for instance "tocontinue" instead "to continue". When looks on both formats on my desktop the problem doesn't exist - it's only shows on Palm T|X regardless of font size etc. It's still readable but quite annoying.

Might it be that the space is not inserted if conversion program "thinks" there is a new line. Any advices how to change settings to fix it ?

One additional thing : if I convert from EPUB to LIT and then from LIT to FB2, the problem goes away and spacing is normal.
