Hi Kovid,


I've attached one here.

(FYI, the file I attached is a docx file. The forum doesn't like me uploading a docx file, so I renamed to doc. You should rename to docx before you start tinkering I think.)

In this Word file the heading is Cochin LT.

Calibre generates this css for the heading:

.block_ {
    display: block;
    font-family: "Cochin LT", serif;
    font-size: 2em;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 1.2;
    page-break-after: avoid;
    page-break-inside: avoid;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 12pt 0 0 28.8pt
    }

The base font / body text is supposed to be Arial

Calibre generates this:

.block_1 {
    color: black;
    display: block;
    line-height: 1.2;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0 0 12pt
    }

I have one more style in the document. Indented, and in a different font just to test.

Calibre generates this:

.block_4 {
    color: black;
    display: block;
    font-family: "URW Palladio L", serif;
    font-size: 0.75em;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0 0 8pt 28.8pt
    }

I am not even sure I understand how Calibre gets the blue color to show in headings, when the CSS doesn't specify a color.

The only color reference is waaay down in the stylesheet:

.calibre {
  color: #2E74B5;
  display: block;
  font-family: "Arial", sans-serif;
  font-size: 1em;
  padding-left: 0;
  padding-right: 0;
  margin: 0 5pt;
}

But this doesn't seem to be referenced anywhere.

Although, if I remove it, the heading loses its blue color, and the base font is no longer Arial.

Curiouser and curiouser.
