title_body: Epub 2.O: font in ul, ol lists is smaller than regular font I'm formatting an ebook that has taught me many things ... usually after a fair bit of angst, consultation of manuals, online sleuthing, and experimentation. (This is a complicated non-fiction book, with an appendix containing 102 entries, each with five paragraph styles and embedded images.) I have solved everything, it validates but ... the font displayed in ul and ol lists is smaller than the font in the rest of the book.
  
  I do not have any list styles defined. I thought that the list took its style from the paragraph style unless otherwise specified. 
  
  I do not recall having run into this problem on other books, some of which had lists. Could the problem be that this is the first time that I have used an imbedded font, at the client's request?
  
  The paragraph .css looks like this:
  
    font-family:"texgyreschola", serif;
    font-size:1.0em;
    text-indent:1.5em; 
    text-align: left; 
    margin-top:0; 
    margin-bottom:0;
    margin-right:.5em;
  
  
  Is the font-embedding somehow interfering with list display? If it is, how do I fix things? Create a list style and duplicate the paragraph specs? 
  
  I will be abjectly grateful for any help :)
upvoted_answer: &lt;li&gt; will not inherit from &lt;p&gt;, so what you are seeing is probably a different font in your lists than in your paragraphs. The easiest way I've found to test this is to add something impossible to mistake to the CSS for &lt;p&gt;. I like to use color: red, but your mileage may vary.
  
  Note that the reason that the fonts could appear to be different sizes is that some fonts look bigger than others&mdash;compare Open Sans and Times New Roman, for example, and the Times will look substantially smaller, even though both are 1.0em.
  
  Including
  
  li {
    font-family:"texgyreschola", serif;
    font-size:1.0em;
  }
  
  
  in your CSS should do the trick.
