Using Windows 7, Firefox and calibre.
Can anyone direct me to some REALLY good guide and discussion of changing fonts?
thanks! I am getting sooo frustrated!!  |
I attached a detailed document I wrote on the whole process. (I found the MR thread so convoluted and drawn out over multiple pages that I wrote down the steps into a document.) There is more involved than changing the CSS in calibre. I hope this helps.
Also, if the CSS in the ePub has a font-family defined somewhere other than the BODY tag, then this trick won't work. It is not uncommon to find a font-family defined for a P tag or a DIV tag. You can open the CSS file and search for "font-family" to see if there are definitions in tags other than the BODY tag. If so you can either delete those definitions in the ePub CSS file or override each one during conversion with calibre. If you cannot open the CSS file try adding an override to the P tag as well as the BODY tag:
body { font-family: "Arial"; }
p { font-family: "Arial"; }
