Slight text-erase on right margin

[lazo...@gmail.com]

I'm using the FFDownloader plug-in on Calibre ebook reader which I LOVE. 

I've noticed that some letters on the far right side of the page are slightly cut-off, almost as if the margin setting is too great on that side. This occurs in both individual books and anthologies. (P.S. The anthology feature is wonderful - thank you very much!) In Calibre, you can clean up books by changing the margins; however, as it was converted without this information, this doesn't "reveal" the missing text.

Has anyone experienced this or know what settings can be adjusted to fix it? 

Thanks in advance and thanks for developing this program!

Included a screenshot in case it's helpful:

Glad you like it. :-)

What ebook format are you using? And what ebook reader?

The FFDL epub and html output have output_css that can be set in the
personal.ini tab of your FFDL config. Both default to a 2% margin.

You can double the right side only by adding this to your personal.ini:

[epub]
add_to_output_css:
body { margin-right: 4%; }

FYI, most of the book readers I use (Nook, Kindle, calibre's built-in,
etc) override the margins encoded in the ebook. So this may not help.

What e-book viewer are you using?  EPubs and most other e-book formats can't lose characters because the margin is wrong - they might not be displayed with those settings, but they've pretty much got to be there in the file, as it's marked-up text, and not a rendered graphic.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

The output format is epub and was using Calbre on my computer to create and view these. 

I tried adding the text you provided to the personal.ini, but it didn't change anything. I could definitely be doing it wrong though. I tried both a straight copy/paste as is and I also tried it adding the # symbol before each line.

As I am using Calibre, I'm not sure if those "margin over-rides" are doing something. However, if I download a story epub straight from A03 or something else, I haven't noticed any margin problems. That being said, I do think it's a setting in the plug-in. 

Thanks for all your help, Tara too!

If you sent me a copy of the offending epub (off-list), I'll see if
there's anything weird in it.
