Hi All,

I'm trying to convert an HTML file to mobi format with calibre.

In the HTML, the font size of all hard (non-breaking) spaces is set to 6pt. The rest of the body text is set to 12pt.

For some reason, the mobi conversion doesn't appear to retain this difference -- all spaces are the same size (12pt) in the calibre viewer (I'm slowly converting my library to mobi before the Kindle 3 I ordered arrives).

I tried replacing the pt values with pixel values, but the result is the same (hard spaces are the same size as normal spaces).

Strangely, when I convert to epub, the difference is retained.

Is it possible to retain different font sizes in mobi? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA
