Thanks you all for your replies. This comes as a real surprise to me after so many years using writer2xhtml and Sigil. I realize too that the Editor provides no safety net contrary to Sigil.

1. - So, if I still keep using writer2xhtml, I will need to correct it first by opening it with Sigil and avoid using it first with the calibre Editor. Not a big deal but good to know.

2. - The alternative choice is to manually correct it with he calibre Editor. But there is still something here that I do not get: take my broken EPUB (the one unsaved): I should be able to correct it easily. It's a fairly simple task: I know the good final structure to respect (a Fonts folder, manifest with the right path, @font-face).

I tried several times to correct manually the manifest using the calibre Editor, but I failed like if my manual changes were not taken into account. If a direct manual change in the manifest is not possible, what is the recommended way to proceed? I'll move this question to the calibre Editor thread.

@st_albert, @theducks

Single quotes are OK for fonts, provided you make a consistent use of them in your EPUB. Double quotes are probably more common.

I did not know there were such thing as "social DRM". I always thought they were totally wild...
