I have noticed that the font-size that calibre's book viewer uses to render TD elements is different to that used by ADE. After a bit of testing it appears that ADE mutlipies the BODY font-size and the TD font-size together to generate the actual font-size for rendering, whereas calibre viewer simply uses the font-size defined in the style for TD.

Example:

body { font-size:1.5em }
td { font-size:1.5em }

Calibre viewer renders TD elements at 1.5em, ADE renders at 2.25em.

So, is one of these right and the other wrong, or do different readers vary in their approach. I have only been able to test calibre reader and Sony, (ADE), and I would like to make ePubs which display consistently on different readers.
