Hello,

I have an odd problem with epubs exported with NWP: The print is tiny on my ebook reader (tolino) and can't be enlarged.
I suppose this is due to the description of the font size in stylesheet.css, e.g.
p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'}
SInce ebook readers have a very high resolution, the interpretation of the "px" probably produces too small letters, or it isn't understood at all.
Is there a way to change this setting somehow, e.g. tp "pt"? Because these are accepted by the reader.
Best

Hello, Thomas.

Have you tried substituting 1em for 12px? I don’t know about your reader, but it works on Kindle.

Greetings, Henry.

Hello Henry,

I've substituted the "px" with "pt" and that seems to work fine.
I'd like to switch it somehow inside of NWP to save me the bother from tinkering with the epubs afterwards.
Can you read epubs with a kindle?

No. I convert them using calibre. It’s a very useful tool. You can convert from epub to epub and it will change the units for you.
Anyway, I’m glad to see you solved the problem. You can change px into pt using a plain search/replace. Finally, I agree with you that NWP should not use pixels as a measure unit for the text. I was surprised to see points were not used instead.

Greetings, Henry.

The empty EPUB/spine bug has been fixed in the just released version 2.0.5 update. This update also fixes some EPUB validation issues.
