Hi all,

I have converted a PDF to an EPUB using Calibre, using the default settings. The result looks good enough for me when viewing inside Calibre.

However, when I load the EPUB into Moon+ Reader Pro, running on a Kindle Fire HD, italicised parts of the text display incorrectly, overlapping with other lines. The rest of the text looks fine.

Going into the 'edit book' option in Calibre, I can see that the italics seem to be controlled by a CSS style called 'calibre6'. I've tried fiddling with the entry for Calibre6 under the css stylesheet, but haven't managed to make any difference regarding the overlapping, overlaid text. I'm pretty much in the dark here though, and don't have a clue what i'm doing with this kind of code.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what may be going wrong? Why would something display correctly in Calibre, but incorrectly in Moon+ Reader?

I have other epubs displaying italics fine in the reader, by the way.

Thanks for any thoughts,
David
Post the calibre6 css.
Things to try comment out font-size and line-height.
Sample of a commented out css element:
Code:
/*  font-size: 1em;*/
