Only when you already
know what
you know as a developer (what you've just explained above). From the point if view of a
user simply attempting to adjust page margins, it will be -- at least initially -- surprising to see horizontal and vertical margins configured in 2 completely different places of Marvin's user interface. I'm afraid many new Marvin users might initially reach the conclusion also made by Quexos: that Marvin only allows the adjustment of left & right margins. (What about a "Vertical margins setup" hyperlink on that in-book settings pane?)

Volkhov is a fabulous, distinct font.
Its only drawback is, it only works for Western European languages, so for all other languages, I need to use a different, less distinct font.
Another distinct font resembling a bold font by default, is Futura -- but again, only for Western European languages. So, I often need to resort to fonts like Georgia or Verdana which, while very nice and perfectly readable, aren't very "thick".
PS: I've observed an interesting difference between how the Volkhov font behaves in Marvin on iOS and in Moon+ Reader Pro on Android. In iOS, if you display a non-Western European language text in Marvin using Volkhov (or Futura), the letters missing in that font are replaced with the appropriate letters in a default font (Palatino or Helvetica in Marvin, maybe?), so that the text, overall, is still readable in Marvin; it only looks "jagged". In contrast, in Moon+ on Android, the missing letters are replaced with little square empty boxes, so that the text is not readable at all. I'm not sure who's to blame for that -- Android or Moon+, or who deserves credit here: Marvin or iOS, for handling such "emergency situations" better.
