Hyphenation does not work in E-book Viewer

Elancrom · 06-17-2014, 06:35 PM

Hello to all

I am using calibre portable v1.39 in Windows 7 - 64 bits.
When I select in e-book viewer the option hyphenate with default language spanish it doesn't works, sometimes the option has no effect at all, sometimes ALL the words get the syllabes separated by spaces in blank.
The same with epubs in english and hypenate with default language english.

The epubs come from several sources.

I don't know what is wrong, or what I am missing or doing not well.

Any help will be wellcomed

Sorry for my bad english :-(

This is caused by a bug in Qt WebKit (the library calibre uses to render HTML). It happens with some fonts, try changing the fonts in the viewer preferences or wait for a little while, calibre will soon be updating to Qt 5 which should fix this.
