KB0248: Why does Jutoh warn about non-standard text size?

See also: Why does Jutoh warn about direct formatting?

Jutoh may show a warning that a large percentage of your book was formatted with a non-standard text size (for reflowable books only).

Jutoh takes 12pt to be the 'normal' text size, used in paragraphs other than headings, titles and so on. So you should try to use 12pt in your paragraph styles, and apply a text size to as little content as possible.

When Jutoh encounters 12pt text, it omits the text size altogether in the generated Epub, Kindle and HTML code. This allows the device to present the book in the optimal size, and also allows the user to adjust the text size.

If you have applied, say, 11pt to most of your book, the text will appear smaller than other books.

If you use named styles instead of directly-applied formatting, it will be easier to get the formatting right. See Why does Jutoh warn about direct formatting? for methods you can use to improve your formatting, in particular removing your direct text sizes in bulk.

If you can't see where a non-standard text size has been used, look at the bottom of the Styles tab in the Formatting Palette and move the text cursor over your content. The text size may be defined in a 'base' paragraph style and therefore may not be immediately visible: so check styles, such as "Normal", that may have been used as the basis for other styles that inherit text size. You can also search for where a particular text size has been used, in the Find & Replace dialog.
