Reply To: Linespacing issues with italics and boldface in EPUB on Nook Color

I have a book that uses and span.italics, and my css looks like this:

span.italics {
font-family: Minion Pro Italic;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
}

That's not terribly different than what you have and you should need much else, but I guess you could add:

line-height: Xpx (or whatever you're using);

That might force it to use the same line height. After looking at your screen shote, I am very curious about what your other styles look like, because the text is bigger than the body text. My guess is that if you are using ems or % or just a number for your line height, the height might increase when you increase the font size, since if I'm not mistaken, the line-height property is in proportion to the designated font size… I'm going out on a limb here because I don't remember so well if that's the case and I'm not looking at your syle sheet. So, just some thoughts.

Yours,
