This issue needs to be Edited. The issue does not seem to be related font only to the width of the export. Currently exports on new books have a much narrower width. I have uploaded an example export Item(s) for production and development as a comparison
Original Width (PB 4) British-Columbia-in-a-Global-Context-1520890775.pdf
Narrow Width (PB5) British-Columbia-in-a-Global-Context-1520890604.pdf
@lucwrite - can you confirm that your page width settings is set to 8.5 x 11?
Yes I can confirm
can I have the url of the book please?

I see this setting on that book:
Ok this is weird. Here is gif with settings and resulting export files
what I see in the gif above is after hitting 'save' it switches from US Letter to Digest.
Yes - I realize that now. Is it set to default to digest with a new book then?
I was able to save again and create export with the desired width
so, we'll chalk this up as an anomaly?
If this happens with each time we create a new book, I guess we can add this to documentation so users don't do. Is that what you mean by anomaly
when I create a new book, it defaults to US Letter. Because I can't recreate this the problem may be better described as an oddity, or quirk.
Description
PDF Larger font size in newly created books
Expected behaviour
new PDF's shouldn't increase font size
Actual behaviour
exporting an existing book pdf is fine. Exporting new books seem to have different font size. In Digital and PDF files, pages are skinnier and text is much larger. This has the potential to vastly increase the number of pages in print-on-demand copies, which will drive up the price.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Export an existing book, check the font size, and page width. Not sure if it's theme specific.
