Page numbers

So, I have asked this in another forum, but then I put this here, because now it is a Sigil question.

I have noticed some ePub, for instance those in Kobo ePub format I buy on Kobo store, on my Kobo display a page number according to the font size and the chapter.

For instance I could have Chapter 3 - Page 12 out of 120 as the page number. If I change the font size then the page number changes.

But in other ePub I have, the page number is fixed. I mean, it is a overall page number for the book, like just "Page 12 out of 420". If I double the font size I still have "Page xxx out of 420" whereas I should have "out of 840" about...

So is there a way to edit the ePub file, with Sigil as we are in Sigil forum, to change the Page numbering behavior of my eBook? I would like the page count to be relative to the real text on my Kobo, not according to a strange thing I do not understand.

Another exemple I could have "Page 12 out of 420", I turn a page I still have "Page 12 out of 420" and I turn another page and now I have "Page 12 out of 420". If I select a big font size I'll have to turn 5, 6, 7 pages to have the page number increased by one

Thanks
