@firenice03 I am an idiot. At your suggestion I went searching for a light replacement for FBReader and I found what seemed ideal. A recently created, fully supported and updated, application. I downloaded the .deb and installed it, it's lightweight and fast, it's also already installed! Foliate has been sitting there in amongst the office applications ever since I installed Lite 5.0, I just hadn't noticed it. Pity my poor old eyes.I've just tried it and it seems to be ideal for my purposes.My sincere apologies for wasting everyone's time and thanks to all concerned.
Thanks firenice03,I have Calibre installed, I just prefer the lighter simpler FBReader. The general consensus seems to be heading in the direction of "stop carping and put up with the hyphens or learn to love Calibre, " so that's what I'll do. I know it makes sense.Thanks again everyone.
Toshiba Portege R700Lite 5.0I use FBReader a great deal and I have the version 0.12.10dfsg2-4bu installed from the repository.When reading an epub book the application inserts a hyphen after every word before the space.No amount of fiddling with the settings changes this.I have a similar setup on a Satellite Pro running MX and FBReader (version 0.12.10dfsg2-3) renders the text perfectly.My old 32bit D420 runs Lite 3.8 and FBReader works as it should.I've just learned that the developer no longer supports Linux and that version 12 is old software, I've also read that Ubuntu 20 has dropped qt4 which may explain something.Has anyone else experienced this?
