EPUB to AZW3: font sizes changed
I notice that when converting EPUBs to AZW3, the original font sizes are changed. Comparing the CSS in the original EPUB to that in the generated AZW3, I see that 1em remains as 1em, but 2em becomes 1.5 em, 1.5em becomes 1.375em, 1.2em becomes 1.125em...

Is there anything I can do to get the output font sizes to match the original sizes?

Conversion Options > Look & feel > Disable font size rescaling

I believe how fonts are re-scaled depends on the output profile selected. There are other settings there to control font sizes.

Thanks! I did look at that tab, but somehow completely missed that setting!

So many settings, so little time...

Followup: I ticked the box, and reconverted, and nothing happened.
I restarted calibre, reconverted, nothing happened.
Then I remembered something else you pointed me at on another thread about saved conversion settings:
Quote:
1. From the defaults set in Preferences->Conversion
2. From the saved conversion settings for each book being converted (if any). This can be turned off by the option in the top left corner of the Bulk Conversion dialog.
And of course I'd forgotten about the unobtrusive "Use saved conversion settings..." checkbox.
So now all I have to do is reconvert all my AZW3s: but this time, remember to untick that damned unobtrusive little checkbox...
