Unwanted page numbers and font change

[SoulStyle]

Dear all,

I'm having trouble with a few ebooks as they have some unwanted page numbers and font change. Please see the two screen-shots below






Any idea how to get rid of this strange font change (Calibres font size rescaling does not help) and how to remove these page numbers in the middle of the text?
Every help is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

SoulStyle

Those appear to be in the source. Caqlibre just made a best attempt to convert what it was given.

A convesion Guru may come by.
Personally, I use Sigil on the file and build specific REGEX replaces (may take a few dozen) to fix all the variations).

I don't know what would cause the font changes, but the page numbers mostly appear if your source is a page-based layout like PDF. You can easily get rid of them using the search & replace function within Calibre's conversion settings. There's a short tutorial available.
You can, of course, also correct the font changes during that step, but that would necessitate knowing what causes the change in the first place...

Your bold writing as well as the page numbers are all a different "class" from your regular text.
Page numbers are '<b class="calibre4">##</b>', while the bold text is '<span class="none2"></span>'.
If you did a replace "<span class="none2">" with "<span class="none4">", your text should even out.

The change seems to be coming from the class="s21" vs class="s22" in the DIV tags. If the "s22" isn't used elsewhere for an intentional bold then simply editing the CSS file so that s22 has the same style attributes as s21 will "fix" the font change problem.

Many thanks for all the hints. Regarding the font change, I could not figure out what was causing it and modifying class="s21" to match class="s22" did not work as strange enough both classes didn't contain and font size or "bold" instructions.
What did the trick was replacing '<span class="none2"> with '<span class="none4">

Regarding the stupid page numbers a regex in Sigil (boah, mighty stuff but as a first time contact pretty heavy )
I just replaced <b class="calibre4">\d*</b> with nothing and here we go.

Again, thnx for the support
