franklekens · 01-22-2012, 06:41 AM

When I convert epubs to mobi, I notice italics are sometimes systematically lost. And also smallcaps (but I doubt mobi is capable of rendering smallcaps at all -- anyway I've never seen smallcaps on my Kindle).

In the epub file, the italics are specified like this:

<span class="wpt-cursief">Text in italics</span>

Referring, of course, to an entry in the css file
span.wpt-cursief {font-family: "schreefI";}

Is Calibre not able to convert this correctly into italics for mobi files?
