CSS is interesting to me. Edit: I meant "other CSS properties" not "extra CSS", sorry.
Re: padding and margins, that's what I kind of suspected, it's nice to know for sure. I will leave those unchecked. |
Some publishers who have no idea what they're doing embed the font type/family on the paragraph level. The result is that the user is unable to substitute their preferred font on the ereader. Checking "Fonts" in the other css properties will remove embedded font families and so the user will be free to choose their own font.
Line height and font size can depend on the font, so locking the font down may also lock down those; I'm not sure about this, as I don't use this method myself (I remove embedded fonts, line heights and atypical body font size from the css with the calibre editor).
