How to change the font-size in the body tag in css?
extra css before conversion
body {
font-size: 0.8em;
}

WISH: stylesheet.css after conversion
.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 5pt;
margin-right: 5pt;
margin-top: 0;
page-break-before: always;
text-align: left
}

but in fact, stylesheet.css after conversion
.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 5pt;
margin-right: 5pt;
margin-top: 0;
page-break-before: always;
text-align: left
}

Why Calibre could not follow my purpose, just force the font-size as 1em?
1em in body tag is too big for me.

Can you post a simple file which shows this happening, and the conversion options that you used?

I believe controlling the font-size of the body css can be done by using the box Convert - Look&Feel - Base font size rather than Extra CSS. Would I be correct in thinking you have yours set to 12pt?
