Font size
The font size looks much smaller on the book I'm reading than all of the previous books I've read on my Kobo. The settings in koboereader.conf have not changed, just how large the words appear on screen. I have to increase the font size setting to make the words look the same size as on other books.
The book is a kepub converted by Calibre from an epub. How can I fix this? I'd rather not be changing the font settings on my Kobo for different books. I'm guessing I should be editing the book's CSS, but I don't know how to do this. |

Two possible reasons:
1. The base font size between kepubs and epubs is different; this can be fixed with a patch 2. The smaller size is specified in the book css (a common enough occurrence); this can only be fixed by editing the css. I use the calibre editor for this, some folks use Sigil. |

2. What do I look for and change in the css? Assume I know nothing about css. Last edited by foosion; Today at 10:48 AM. |

After you open the book in the editor, you can see the file browser (displaying the files in the book), the code editor and the preview. Open any file with ordinary text (i.e. not the cover or the TOC etc.) and look at the paragraph class in the code editor. You should see something like <p class="indent">, <p class="para-p"> and so on, there are hundreds of variants. Sometimes it's not a p, but a div. In short, look at what code an ordinary paragraph uses. Then open the css file and look for that code there. If you see any font-size smaller than 1em under that paragraph class, delete it (the whole row - like, font-size: 0.8em or font-size: small. You can use Search & Replace to bulk delete all instances of that abnormal size from the css file. You should see the text get larger in the preview window after this. If everything seems ok, save and close the editor.

Yes, that too, of course.

YMMV. FWIW, I'm listening to an audiobook of Wolf Hall, which mentions that Cromwell had a fantastic memory due to memory training in Italy. Last edited by foosion; Today at 12:18 PM. |
