Weird problem - the entire epub is itailcized
I have 2 computers (Ubuntu Linux 12.04), each with the latest 0.9.35 version of Calibre installed. I have my Library on a memory stick. I have an epub formatted file that displays fine on my laptop version, but when I open the same epub on the desktop computer the ENTIRE text is in italics. This does NOT happen with any other files that I have - just this one.

So did I inadvertently set some preference that I need to restore?

Anyone got any idea? I don't mind the italics - its just annoying.

Thanks,
pat

1 book probably indicates that a incorrect font has been (auto) chosen to substitute for a declared, but not embedded font (or system).

There is a very slight chance the the WRONG font was declared and it exists on that system, but the alternate was used on the first system.

No preference will change this. Theducks is on the right track. To be clear there is something in your book that is wrong. One machine was able to ignore the other was not able to ignore it. Most likely you will need to use something like Sigil to edit the CSS inside the ePub to correct the problem.

I have corrected books like this in the past but for me it was always hit and miss editing of the css and the book until I stumbled on the correct solution. Be sure to have a backup copy of the book before you begin editing it.

Good Luck.

Have a great day
