Weird ebook bug?
Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2018 4:29 pm
Well, this is odd. Last night I completed the Greek character set for my regular font, and out of laziness I just ran the "Italics" script via the Glyph Transformer (rather than going through that whole ordeal of creating a "real" italic Greek character set -- although I may eventually do that down the road, but this is good enough for now).
Looks just fine in FC, and also in Photoshop -- indeed, everything looks like it should -- but when I embed my fonts into an ebook strange things happen wherever the Greek is encountered in italics.
If there's no Greek within an italicized portion of text, then that italicized text gets smaller than it should be.
But if there is Greek within that italicized text, then it gets bigger!
Here's a screenshot, of how a portion of text from my ebook looks in Photoshop (as it should look), and as it's coming out in my ebook...
Any thoughts/ideas?
Incidentally, I'm thinking that I should make my space bigger, methinks the words are a little too scrunched together -- whaddaya think? Probably, eh? Just a tad? Maybe about 1.5 times the size it is now? Maybe that's too much, but even just a little bit bigger I think would help with readability.
