Display base font size in a library column?
Hello,
Is there a way to display the current base font size of an ebook in a custom column in my Calibre library? I haven't found any information on this, but am not sure what to search on. Thanks! |

Sadly ebooks dont have a base font size, that's just a concept in the conversion settings. Th econversion engine runs through all font sizes in the book to calculate an effective base font size.

Most programs for reading ePub default to a size of 1em.
However, some eBooks do put in a base font size specifically. I've been editing some eBooks where the base font size is set to small. |
