generated epub triggers render bug on kobo hardware

[spazm]

Generated an epub and loaded it onto my kobo and it displayed using a gigantic font (somewhere around 90pts) with large spacing that only displayed a couple of letters per page. Changing the font and size in the kobo UI do not affect the display.

Documenting here for any other Kobo user(s). I was able to use calibre to convert from epub to epub and it generated an epub that worked fine on the kobo.

This is a problem on the Kobo side, but it'd be nice to find a work around in the CSS. A previous kobo epub rendering problem was "fixed" by deleting custom.css from the epub bundle.

Hopefully I'll get back to this and run some more tests with various tweaks to the inline css to generate a working set. Perhaps using the CSS referenced in the chapter metadata.

FYI: I tested with the latest updates [ 24a0519021d686fe77cef289542596b792bf54a4 ] which include the original CSS inline. Same issue on the Kobo side.
