    Hi,
    i set up a running booktype+objavi enviroment on my server (opensuse 11.4)
    The pdf-creation works so far but the layout is messed up (margin problems + non-ascii characters are not displayed correctly)
    i have attached an example.
    Any ideas?
    Thx!

    Problem is in that image of a flower. That image takes 100% of space and text size resizes accordingly. Either put smaller image or put css style IMG { max-width: 500px;} [or something like similar].

    When you are editing image you don't see real size of the image. Width of the image is just for the editing purposes set to be the size of the editor. That can lead to some confusion.

    max-width:100%;
    height:auto;

    works good for all outputs

    After long triying and failing i figured out my css files didnt work.
    What i have done so far:
    objavi/config.cgi:
    added
    SERVER_DEFAULTS = {
        '127.0.0.1/booktype': {
            'css-book': '/static/imb.css',
            'css-web': '/static/en.flossmanuals.net-web.css',
            'css-newspaper': '/static/en.flossmanuals.net-newspaper.css',
            'css-openoffice': '/static/en.flossmanuals.net-openoffice.css',
            'lang': 'en',
            'dir': 'LTR',
            'toc-encoding': None,
            'display': True,
            'interface': 'Booki',
            'toc_header': 'Table of Contents',
            },
    at "objavi/htdocs/static/" i have added imb.css

    But no css properties are loaded, just the default.

    Thx!

    Hello!

    In Objavi's SERVER_DEFAULTS, try using whatever you have configured as THIS_BOOKI_SERVER in Booktype's settings.py instead of 127.0.0.1/booktype and see if that will get the CSS loaded.

    unfortunately the css didnt load.
    in the objavi tmp directory the objavi.css file still contains the default css (file attached).
    Any other tips, what might help?
    thx for your help so far!!

    Reply to @Flo0502:

    If that is indeed the content of "objavi.css" file you have found in the "tmp" directory, it would mean that the Booktype server is supplying its own CSS rather than letting the Objavi server use it's own.

    Could you please go to the "Publish" tab on Booktype, then go to settings for "Book", clicking "Next" until you reach the "Advanced' settings.  There is "Override Server Default CSS" under "General" and "Booktype CSS" under "Advanced (style sheets)".  Try editing these options and see if that will get you anywhere.

    Hello.

    Do you have the virtual framebuffer X server (Xvfb) installed on the system and in the default PATH?
