Baffled again - css, san serif sometimes
I'm really givin' this my ever-lovin-best, here, and know no more of what to make of it. Perhaps the kindly folks can tell me (once again) what the hay-el I am doing wrong:
Built me a demo typeface page, for eventual font embedding. Epub-ified it in Calibre.
However, despite Valid XHTML and Valid CSS, and it all looking like it should just work, I am seeing Serifed Fonts being displayed in ADE for the H1 and H2. In fact, anywhere I call SanSerif fonts (outside of the Title), it always comes out Serifed.
I'm not expecting the actual font to be called; but having it call a SanSerif font would be nice.
It's not like I've royally hosed it, either (as usual). Calibre Viewer, Dreamweaver, Firefox, Browser, and (ack)Word all show it working just fine. ADE, tho, is determined to make it not happen.
And just because I think it's funny, I've built a version with Indesign and full font embedding. THEN it works in ADE, but is funny looking in Calibre - the headings and titles are fairly non-bold-like. I'm sure there's reason (like not using a real bold version of Frutiger in my calls).
Attached are the usual suspects: source, calibre source, epub(s), pic.
Despite all my relentless earlier criticisms of InDesign, it does do this font rendering thing pretty well - should I revisit it?
