@droopy: Your images aren't comparing the same things. The images from the Kobo devices are for kepubs. The images from the calibre viewer are from viewing the epubs. If you were to open the kepub version in the calibre viewer, you would see the same problem as on the device.

The problem is a bug in the released version of the kepub output plugin. It was also seen with the extended driver. Which was reasonable, as they share code. I posted a beta to fix the extended driver, with the explanation of what was causing the error. I wasn't going to release a beta of the output plugin as I was hoping for an official release of both. But, I have posted a beta of the output plugin in it's thread with the same fix.

I suppose the font change wasn't explicitly mentioned in the other thread. The font change is because the paragraph is being split during the conversion. But, the new p-tag is bare. It doesn't have the same class. It uses whatever is the base style for a paragraph in the book. The beta solves this by not incorrectly splitting the paragraphs.
