Does this have something to do with the Preferences? In Edition Defaults, under Font Options I have it checked to "View with large and small font".
I'd just like to see how the other fonts look in the preview.
Thanks for any help,

That "tip" use to work with older versions of eBook Publisher (v.2.2.5 and earlier) and seems "broken" under the most recent version of eBook Publisher (v2.3+).
However, there is a "work-around. The default <p> style used for ebooks prepared with eBook Publisher seems to be
"font-family:serif; font-size:small" but this can be overridden within your html code near the top above the <body> tag in the <head> ... </head> section.
In particular, you can set different font-family's (or font-sizes) using a <style> declaration (bold part below):
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Test CSS</title>
<style type="text/css">
p {font-family:monospace}
</style>
</head>
<body>
or a combination of using both <style> and <body> tags would look like:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Test CSS</title>
<style type="text/css">
p {font-family:monospace; font-size:x-small}
</style>
</head>
<body style="margin-left:2px; margin-right:2px;" bgcolor="#F5DEB3">
I've attached two ebooks below; the first one uses the method you tried to change the fonts, but failed and the second uses the <style> method to reset the default <p> look and feel.
Experiment what works best for you.
