That should definitely
never occur. I have so far never encountered such a bug in Marvin -- neither on the iPad, nor on iPhone. Once you set a font size in a particular book, it is
rock solid, and remains sticky there, unless you change it to something else again yourself.
Please note, however, that some e-books are so mal-formatted that text size
varies within them. Yep... One chapter in one size, another chapter in another size... Not because that's what was
intended, but because the e-book is badly formatted. That is what
may have been occurring in that instance where you observed this on the iPhone.
If Marvin encounters a code inside an e-book, saying, "Now enlarge the font", then Marvin obeys. Marvin has no way of knowing whether such a code enlargement/shrinking was actually intended or not. Marvin can only obey the code that is inside the e-book. But, if it looks bad then on the screen, you can always adjust it using Marvin's plethora of formatting buttons.
To explain why every
new book cannot always
immediately show the
same font size: if in book A, you tell Marvin to enlarge the font by 10%, then Marvin will enlarge the font by 10% in the second book, too. But, if the publisher of book B (foolishly) specified for the
default font to be
larger than the default font in book A, you will
initially end up with a larger font in book B than in book A, although Marvin's setting is
+10% in
both books. There is no way for Marvin to predict all the potential whims on the part of publishers, other than actually
opening the book and letting the Marvin user adjust whatever he/she sees there.
