Hello all,
Whether or not the current Bookshare tools convert allbooks and formatting
to something inconsistent, please try not to change the formatting to
something like Times New Roman 14 Points. The problem that you mentioned is
a bit odd. But the rest of the book should be left as is.

Hi Evan,
I don't know how the font got to be 2; that is truly weird. Normally font
attributes are not lost in rtf conversion, which is one of the main reasons
for using rtf. When the book is processed by the Bookshare tools, I don't
believe font size is retained. If that's true, the thinking behind it is
that a sighted user will be setting the font size to meet his/her own
reading needs. That's also the reasoning why indents and spaces and tabs
aren't preserved--the point is that each user can control how the text will
be displayed. There are arguments for and against this approach, but that's
the way it is at this point.
Hth,
Kellie
