I think you will be amazed... it's just packed full of things I didn't know about, and I've still not seen mentioned anywhere else.

Computer code. (page 47) ... Keyboard text. (page 47) ... Sample text. (page 47) ... Teletype text. (page 47) Copyright © 2009 eBook Architects. All rights reserved. This file is provided as a supplement to Kindle Formatting: The Complete Guide. Please buy the book at http://kindleformatting.com/book. ==================== That book costs only $9.99 at Amazon, and will save any serious Kindle publisher many times that amount in terms of hours wasted. Hope this helps (also hope I don't get into trouble with Joshua for copying it) CJ]]> Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:58:47 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:58:47 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:58:47 +0000 Feb 8, 2010 rvingwriter 2 http://forums.digitaltextplatform.com/dtpforums/thread.jspa?messageID=19058&tstart=0#19058 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:25:03 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:25:03 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:25:03 +0000 Feb 8, 2010 cub06h 0 http://forums.digitaltextplatform.com/dtpforums/thread.jspa?messageID=19051&tstart=0#19051 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:12:19 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:05:50 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:12:19 +0000 Feb 8, 2010 al90444 0 http://forums.digitaltextplatform.com/dtpforums/thread.jspa?messageID=19050&tstart=0#19050 Can you give me a few lines of representative text? Try the C++ code fragment below. It illustrates several problems with determining actual characters with a variable-pitch font and similar formed characters. Observe the differences when similarly shaped characters are near one another, but they are not so obvious when the characters stand alone. In other cases, you cannot discern a difference particularly because of pitch. For example, two apostrophes and a double quote character look the same. For another example, adjacent spaces seem to be collapsed into one. int main() { // write to the console std::cout << "''10-- ___l | O''"; return 0; } Message was edited by: al90444]]> Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:03:28 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:41 +0000 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:03:28 +0000 Feb 8, 2010 al90444 4
