Letter and Word Spacing Values

[omodia]

Type of installation

Portable (.zip)

Type of reader (if reader related)

epub

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any epub.
2. Activate Word Spacing and Letter Spacing.
3. Change their values.

✔️ Expected Behavior

1. For the value boxes of letter and word spacing to be changed, ranging from 0 to n.nn.
2. And the value boxes of letter and word spacing to be more spacious as they would follow two digits after period and their current boxes are not legible.

❌ Actual Behavior

1. Increasing / decreasing the value causes it to go to minus somehow.
2. Box are not spacious.

Somehow its looping.

✔️ Expected Behavior

For the value boxes of letter and word spacing to range from 0 to n.nn.

• Example - 0.01, 0.02, n.nn.

Some suggestions.

1. Line height,
   • Minimum value = 1.
   • Value Range = 1 to n.
   • • Example = 1, 2, n.
   • Increments / Decrements of 1 when using arrows.
   • As 0 means, the lines of the same paragraph would merge forming a single line, making it unreadable.
2. For Paragraph Spacing,
   • Minimum value = 0.
   • Value Range = 0 to n.
   • • Example = 0, 1, 2, n.
   • Increments / Decrements of 1 when using arrows.
3. For other 2, i.e. Word and Letter Spacing,
   • Minimum value = 0.
   • Value Range = 0 to n.nn.
   • • Example = 0, 0.01, 0.02, to n.nn.
   • Increments / Decrements of 0.01 when using arrows.
   • As 0.1 or 1 would be large for word and letter spacing.
4. Where n = 9 for all 4 epub spacing options (for all cases).

When setting the limits initially I did consider this same, but later i had to lower them a bit because it was needed. Increment of 1 is too much in my opinion, after testing and using it for a long time of course.

And in word spacing 0.01 is too small.

I agree with you.

1. For Paragraph, Line, and Word spacing,
   • Increment / Decrement = 0.1 upto a max of 9.
2. For Letter Spacing,
   • Increment / Decrement = 0.01 upto a max of 1. (Not 9 for this, but 1).

1. For Paragraph, Line, and Word spacing,

• Increment / Decrement = 0.1 upto a max of 9.

Here only for word spacing, the max value = 1 or 2, as this is very large.

Its partially solved.

1. For word and letter spacing only,

• It's still possible to go to minus values using the arrow key buttons.

2. All 4 layout input boxes still loop.

• Long press down arrow / up arrow button to loop.

3. For Letter spacing only,

• The minimum value should be 1.
• Because any lower than 1 would make the lines of the same paragraph merge.
• Letter spacing input box should be more big as the current one is not enough for 3 digit values (Can be seen in the video).

There have been cases when I needed word and letter spacing in negative, it totally depends on the font you use. While noone will need it as low as -1 but I have kept it there for specific cases.
