Question

Fixed Layout Epub issue: text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;

Is there anyone who can tell me if the HTML-code that is rendered when exporting for FXL-epub can be influenced?

I have a peculiar issue: I am using the German characte ü (u-umlaut) on several spots in a text. On some spots in the tekst it is no problem, but on some spots the style attribute <text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;> is added. This causes problems: about 2 characters before and 2 character after the ü-position get completely scrambled 😞

I would like to control this export in a way that this text-rendering attribute is not exercised.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Which software are you using to create/export your e-pub?

Hi Nancy,

This is occuring with Dreamweaver CC 2017.0.1 Build 9346.

This is an example where in two cases it went wrong (because of the code was generated with the text-rendering style attribute, while in the last sentence it did not happen, and the u-umlaut was created ok.

FXL e-pub is not generated by DW.   Are you using InDesign to create your documents?

A better test is to view the epub in your e-reader devices.   DW's  Live View is only going to show a Chrome browser emulation.  And Design View is not reliable.
