Lit conversion to mobi - words could be bigger!

Can I change some settings in Calibre when converting Lit books to mobi, which would make the words a bit bigger when converting the next time?

All other types of books I have converted have the words just the right size.
I know I can adjust it within the Kindle but I prefer that it was right the first tiime!

Thanks

You could try experimenting with the Base font size box and also maybe the Font size key box on the Convert - Look&Feel page when you convert to mobi.

If "All other types of books" seem correct then the Lit books might be using a specific font. You can choose to filter out all font styles during conversion, see attached.
