Since you appear to have indiscriminately combined portions of various documents, you need to match each and every part of the problem on to the stylesheet.

There is NO SINGLE (magic) stylesheet output from a conversion. Each one is created based upon input the conversion engin gets. One book uses calibre3 for (basic) paragraphs, another for body and calibre 14 for (basic) paragraphs. That is a great reason for Sigil's go to link or style rightclick. It jumps you to that place, where you decide what is going on.
I do apologize. I did not mean to indiscriminately do anything. I had a mystery that I thought was a matter of me just not looking in the right place. As I said, I am completely new to this, I only know what I have been able to figure out, and I was hoping someone might have seen the error that I was missing. I didn't "expect" anyone to do anything. I just thought someone else might have been intrigued by the mystery.

ALL the things that I posted were from the exact same document. As I said, all of this started as ONE document. I made a master copy. Deleted the things I didn't want (not style or fonts - just text) and saved it as part 1. Went back to the original, cut what I didn't want, saved it as part 2. And so on for 10 parts. 6 parts worked, 4 didn't. All the codes I posted were from a single part of that process - there was no switching and pasting from multiple documents. Why would I do that? How would that help? It's from one of the ones that didn't work. Perhaps the things that you saw that made you think they were from different documents is the problem. What doesn't make sense to me is that everything works (italic, bold, bold italic, larger font areas) and switches to the desired font EXCEPT the normal portions. I have gone through each and every line of code - I don't see where it doesn't work. I do see that there seem to be some sort of conflicting commands (use calibre3 here, then immediately following use calibre4) but I don't understand how that should be a problem since all say to go to the embedded font. So while I can see where you would think I haven't tried to go through the code - I have. I just didn't see anything that would prevent the font from embedding.

If you aren't interested in helping, I totally understand. I thought this was an open forum where people could brainstorm problems. I did not go into this expecting someone to "solve the problem" for me, but thought maybe someone more experienced would see something that I was missing with my inexperience. I apologize.
