Maybe I'm a bit dense but where do you go to add the "line-height: normal" into your CSS file ? Is this something that needs to be added in Calibre? If so how do I do it? I looked but didn't find it.

"The line spacing can be solved by including "line-height: normal" into your CSS file (for instance in the body {} section)."
That's what I am looking for clarification on. Where can I find the css file that includes the body {} section? |

Open the book in the editor (Edit book).

Yes, but it doesn't always work. That's what I did early on. The problem is if a tag has a class, that css takes precedence over a naked tag. E.g., if it says body class="calibre1" then it'll use the .calibre1 css and not yours. Even worse, some have body style="some crap" but I think calibre will convert that to a class in the .css file. I've resorted to deleting the class="whatever" on all of the body tags, likewise on all of the p tags for the body text. This is after I convert to EPUB. The kindle files are pretty ugly and calibre cleans up a lot of their garbage during the conversion.

Does Bitter have ligatures? (My Kobo is downstairs or I would just install it and check.)

Ligatures are joined characters - some people consider them to be absolutely indispensable to the reading experience, others care so little about them they may not even notice their presence or absence. YMMV, personally, I couldn't give a Continental for them in English, but empathize with those who do care because I hate their absence in Hindi.

Also on the in Preferences-Conversion-Common Opitions-Look & Feel- Styling page at the bottom is a Filter style information box that allows you to completely remove stuff. Do you know if it is safe to remove Fonts and Margins? Some converted epub books do not allow a kobo reader to change fonts at all and others seem to have a large margin on the left side for no apparent reason. I'd love to get rid of both of these issues. At the present time I haven't been able to find any books to test this on. |

The large left margin usually appears when the book is converted from the old mobi format. I've removed them in the editor from hundreds of my older Amazon purchases. Last edited by Sirtel; 11-10-2021 at 06:23 AM. |
