If the firmware of your model doesn't support the method described in this thread, just let me know whether the diacrictics are displayed exactly as in Sigil or Calibre. I'm well aware of the fact, that Hebrew and Arabic characters are intrinsically RTL, I just wanted to "dot my I's and cross my T's." |

I put it on my Kobo Glo and took the attached photo. The font is set to Gothic and the largest that would get all the text on one page. If I set the font to "Document default", the only differences are in how the English text is displayed.

Thanks for testing this! The Kobo does indeed display the Hebrew and Arabic texts RTL, but there are major display issues both with Hebrew and Arabic. Many Hebrew and Arabic letters partially overlap and there are gaps between some of the Arabic letters.

The problem seems to be diacritics/ligatures. The couple of Hebrew samples I've seen (without diacritics) looked fine, using Ezra SIL as well.

In my Aura it looks exactly the same as davidfor's picture, except that the Hebrew diacritics don't overlap with the next line (maybe because I have applied the line-height patch). By reducing the font size, some things change, for instance, the first two letters (bet, resh) appear inverted (resh, bet), with a ~60% overlap between them.

I don't recall seeing this reported. Apparently ADE doesn't like putting floats in the first line (even when there is only one line), unless the float is the first element in the block.
Code:
p span { float: right } <p><span>TEST</span>A test paragraph with a float as the first element. It is correctly floated, and appears in the first line.</p> <p>A<span>TEST</span> test paragraph with a float not as the first element. It is correctly floated, but moved to the second line.</p> |

When reporting ADE bugs, please report which version of ADE this was founbd with as there are now three different versions.

I'm not now in the mood of decoding the spec (rule #8 seems to be broken, but maybe some of the other rules play a role here), but the sample at the end of the section does not behave like ADE. You are probably right in that this may not be against the spec, but it is an unexpected (and undesired) behaviour, I'd say. I haven't tried in readers yet, but firefox (and calibre) seem to behave differently. Last edited by Jellby; 09-09-2014 at 03:51 PM. |

For sure, WebKit floats them both correctly (left or right) on the first line, so iBooks, Kindle (KF8), and most other non-ADE readers should float them correctly. With that said, check your margins to ensure that you don't have a big top margin (which could push it down), and be sure to set that span to be a block element. Floating an inline element is nonsensical, and just about any random interpretation of such invalid CSS could probably be considered correct. |

I think we already know that ADE likes breaking lines at element borders (<span>s, <em>s, etc.), even when there is no space. This is another sample of annoying results caused by this behaviour bug:
Code:
some text <a id="pg_123"/>and more text The workaround is simple: Code:
some text <span id="pg_123"/>and</span> more text PS. I've noticed this reading in my Kobo. I'm assuming this is an ADE bug, and not Kobo-only, but I didn't test, and I could be wrong. |

With that said, it's easy enough to work around such bugs by moving any rules that anger ADE into a separate CSS file. Quote:

I've created a simple test file with Sigil 0.8.4, converted it with the optional Sigil ePub3 plugin and both nowrap and the solid border top styles seem to work with ADE4. |
