Baen did not use to call any font in the styles section. And NO, i don't think Baen 'hinted' because the purchaser would have to look at the stylesheet it even get a hint . IMHO No basic (serif,sans) fallback is really inexcusable.


In one case, a font style was called, but it appears that it was never used because the inside titlepage(?) (Sorry Hitch , I don't know the official names of all those different pages inside) was replaced by an image of the print page (the font on that WAS that listed)
Add to the quality issue, of characters used that render a blank on a ADE (mobile) reader, an extremely common platform , or as a slug in Sigil/Calibre
