If you open up the epub again (in Sigil or using Tweak epub) you could search for occurrences of font-size: and see what sort of values it has.
Thanks for the help. This did not turn out to be the problem but did steer me to the correct solution. At some time (don't know when but hope it was recently) I must have checked "Disable font size rescaling" in the conversion options. Unchecking and converting the original Mobi fixed the problem.

I hope I don't find too many more books that need to be redone.
