No, I meant what they user intended.

Tradtionally, in calibre, with the default font scalling key and 12pt font size, when you convert in calibre, the size of regular text is adusted to 1 em. That gives all your books a consistent font size.

Now, if you have a book that has body font size=1.125em , and you convert in Calibre, the paragraph font size is adjusted to .88889 (or some such.).

In the new viewer, that font will now be super tiny...

Edit: I'll keep an eye out for the next beta to re-examine
