Qt6.9 WebEngine (which Calibre and Sigil use for rendering) introduced many new bugs. So it's quite possible that the issue with not being able to produce colored text without using webkit css IS something on your end. I'll check on my Arch system when next I'm in its presence.
If, however, you're using the official Calibre installer, then ignore everything I said above.  |
I use Calibre installed by pacman, so it uses Qt6.9.1 and Python 3.13.3. But the same behaviour was present in my Calibre since always (Calibre installed by pacman). But again, if in all others system Calibre works fine and in Archlinux -in the version installed by pacman- it doesn't, then the webkit property must be added because we don't know where and how the human reader will employ Calibre Viewer to read the epubs.
