LIT->LRF Conversion - Quirky Base Font Size Setting

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new member here at the forums (I just bought a PRS-505 off ebay). I am trying to convert a bunch of DRM free LIT ebooks to LRF using Calibre (I would go with EPUB but I do prefer the justified text in LRF). My current issue is the following:

I am trying to lower the font size as the default font size when using the "Sony Reader" profile and the LIT to LRF conversion in Calibre seems a bit too large for my taste. I tried setting the Base Font Size to 8pt to test it out, but it is acting a little strange.

The bulk of the text in the paragraphs does actually become smaller (presumably displayed at 8pt). However, any titles/Chapter Titles , Headings and the Table of Contents are now displayed even larger than before. This seems odd since I'd assume that everything would scale down?

I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide me. I've tried searching the forums and changing a bunch of things in Calibre but I haven't been able to figure this out. Also, if it won't work directly via Calibre, how can I go about manually editing the font sizes for the Headings and main body text before doing the LIT-->LRF conversion?

Thanks a lot!

PS - A special thanks to Kovid for all the hard work he has put into Calibre
