I see the italics and bold text that I setup using <em> and <strong> tags in the text itself but nothing setup in the css is making it through. I also have embedded fonts that are not showing, probably because the css doesn't seem to be working.

I used the same techniques I always use but I've never experienced this before. The formatting looks fine in Sigil and I get no errors when I validate. The same epub converts to mobi just fine using Calibre so I'm fairly certain there's no problem with the css or the calls to the css but problems with the css seem to be the most likely culprit from what I'm seeing, or not seeing in ADE.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? I've checked everything I can think of to check and I'm batting zero. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

ADE is very picky about CSS validity.
one tiny typo and it ignores that style.

missing or wrong punctuation, spelling, invalid arguments (2empx)

Magnify (zoom that pane in Sigil) that puppy and look carefully at each and every detail.
