Fixed Layout Epub losing justification

[ApplePiDesign]

I have been trying to make a fixed layout epub for a book and I have almost got it perfect. I have added hyperlink destinations and got the table of contents page working great, BUT all of the book has lost its justification and is now aligned left. In some areas where the line was tight in justification it is overlapping a few letter in places?

Any thoughts (Bob, I know you are the expert in these things!!!!)

What epub reader are you using?

BTW, if the whole thing looks like this, I would strong encourage you to consider re-flowable.

Definitely a reflowable ePub would be better, though he'd have to change the design of the chapter opening graphics.

Hi Bob

The book has several areas where fixed works better - 16 Colour illustration pages, Graphics on chapter pages, plus a few other bits, but yes I have also made as a reflow able epub.

But, as this is quite simple , the fixed ePub should be correct and not be changing the justification don't you think?

I have tried it in iBook and calibre and it looks the same.

Try Readium.

If that doesn’t work, make sure you’re using OpenType fonts.
