The problem with this is: there may be a single Nice font used for Initial caps or alternate characters.
You just reduced the book to a step above mono-spaced text  |
Thanks for that. Still, given the heuristic processing already available in Calibre, I'm just surprised Font normalizing wasn't included...it seems so very basic. There should at least be a global substitution tool, even if it included flashing red 40pt warnings about killing the author-intended styles.
The fact that it is not there, and with no [obvious] mention of it in the Calibre FAQs, makes me think twice about creating a script or plug-in to do automatically.
