It is, and I posted last night a question in the Calibre forum about specifying proper title /title tags rather than the strong /strong tags, but unfortunately with no time nor desire to implement this by the developers into Calibre (and programming being well above my capabilities), I think Calibre is going to be left aside for me with fb2 file conversion.

IF I use Calibre in the conversion process, I have Calibre output an RTF file for input to my FB2 software.
I have used BookDesigner4 in the past and the fb2 files have worked a charm (even worked on my PP just testing now with my fb2.css file). So in the interim I have gone back to epub (after manually editing a file and creating a css that works for me as I want it to display), and will revisit the fb2 issue when I get to end of semester break at uni.

Thanks for your help though, does look like my ultimate solution is BD.
