Ducks-

And then there is the case where there is nothing wrong with the style sheet - the viewers lead you astray. I spent hours looking for problems in the epub posted in #3, of this thread, only to find out that the viewer couldn't handle it. (with thanks to yekim54) I later found that this epub played as expected on both the PC version of Adobe ADE and Sony Library viewers.

As a further indication that you were correct in saying that Calibre and Sigil use the same base software for their viewers, I opened a Calibre bug report as follows:

Bug description:
Running Windows 7 64bit Calibre 0.8.1.
In the attached file each chapter uses a different font. Chapter1 displays bolding and italicization correctly.
Chapters 2,3 and 4 displays the proper font face but not the bolding and italicization.

Kovid Goyal's response:
That is because of a bug in Qt WebKit the HTML rendering library calibre uses. Until that is fixed, there is nothing I can do about this.
Status in calibre: e-book management: Won't Fix

Regards - John
