I've seen the same issue in several ebooks where some (expletive deleted) munged the CSS by using absolute units instead of relative units. So a dropcap that was specified in pixels might look good on a Glo (768x1024) but not on a H2O (1080x1430) or Glo HD (1072x1448). The same lack of thought that leads to image sizes specified in pixels so they are look decent on a Touch (600x800), a bit small on a Glo and downright tiny on a H2O or Glo HD.
Sample code for both styles:
Code:
span.dropcap {
float: left;
font-size: 72px;
line-height: 56px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-right: 6px;
padding-left: 3px;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
}
Code:
span.dropcap2r {
float : left;
font-size : 3.07em;
margin-top : -0.45em;
margin-right : 0.05em;
margin-bottom : -0.5em;
line-height : 1.5em;
}
I have seen some blame placed on Kobo for following the ebook specified style (a shocking thought!) and not scaling pixels to compensate for the screen resolution changes. An issue that can so easily be avoided by using relative measurements which scale.
