Soft hyphens on Windows

Styx · 02-01-2015, 02:56 PM

Hi,

I have problem with epub files with soft hyphens (0xAD). All files from http://wolnelektury.pl/ (where are public domain ebooks) have soft hyphens. E-book viewer display its as space. It looks like in this screenshot: https://github.com/styxiak/bugs/blob...re/hyphens.png

It das not depend on "Hyphenate" setting.

Im guessing you are using a version of Qt built from source? Because calibre's bundled Qt comes with a patch for that bug.

I notice today that 64bit version is available. Main was 32. After reinstallation to 64 everything looks ok.
