Thanks, Kovid, for this wonderful piece of software --- I can't say enough good things about it.

There is one behavior that baffles me. I run all my ebooks through Book Designer, create a lit file, then have Calibre convert it to lrf for my Sony Reader PRS-505. In Book Designer, I highlight the book title and author and designate them as such. Book Designer will center these and make the font larger in relation to the rest of the text, and it will note the metadata.

In Calibre version 5.14, I change the font size of the output from the default size of 10 points to 9 points. Everything converts great and looks proportional on the Sony Reader. However, in Calibre version 6.0 if I change the font size from the default "0.0" to 9 points, the book title and book author take up virtually the complete page! The rest of the text looks fine. If I leave the default font size at "0.0", the resulting page with the book title and book author on it looks normal. The body text, however, is a little larger than I like it, at 10 points.

I can "sort of" solve the problem by just highlighting, centering, and bolding the book author and book title in Book Designer without indicating that they are in fact the book author and book title, but this seems a less than ideal solution. Any ideas on what is going on and how I can effect a better fix? Thanks!
