i see no user preferences to tweak. I would open a book wheich has a font set & copy the css from that . e.g. the book I am proofing just now has this:
.calibre {
display: block;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.2;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 5pt;
margin-right: 5pt;
margin-top: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0
}

the padding settings are superfluous, I guess.

now here's one from a book that presents with artifacts. the differences seem to be
1. no font specified.
2 font-size set

.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 5pt;
margin-right: 5pt;
margin-top: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
page-break-before: always
}

the font-size seem irrelevent in this latter example though - I see no difference in book view if I remove that line from CSS

it would be good to see documented a table of defaults. ie what does sigil use when no value is specified, for each of the above css lines ?
