Font-sizes don't convert accurately (ePub to azw3)

ElMiko · 06-14-2021, 11:29 PM

Hi all,

When I try to convert ePub files to azw3, the css gets modified, apparently rejecting any font-size values greater than 1.5em. For example, the following original css

Code:

.titlepage {
	font-size: 3em;
	margin-top: 0.75em;
	margin-bottom: 0.3em;
	text-align: center
	}

is converted to

Code:

.titlepage {
    display: block;
    font-size: 1.5em;
    line-height: 1.2;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0.75em 0 0.3em
    }

Any guidance on this?

Soooo, what you're saying this is a feature not a bug, and you included a handy little check box in the conversion dialogue that's explicitly labeled "Disable font-size rescaling", and maybe ElMiko should try learning how to read some time...

Thanks, Kovid! Honestly don't know what I'd do without this program.
