Set default font for LRF?

Hope this isn't too dumb of a question: I'm trying to convert a .txt to a .lrf file for my Sony PRS-500. I want it to default to a sans-serif, like Arial. How do I do that?

I think correction is needed:

Code:
body{ font-family: sans-serif}
p { font-family: sans-serif}

I've attached an image of the resulting lrf. The font looks like courier to me or at least a sarif font. I used with and without the dash:

body{ font-family: sans-serif}
p { font-family: sans-serif}

Thanks!

David

I was using the gui. Do you have to type it different in the gui?

This looks like older version of calibre. Download and install latest version and report your findings.

OK, looks like it's working, but I ran into another issue. When calibre runs across Line Feeds in the .txt file, it switches the font back to that original one I was seeing. I have sans-serif until that point.

I guess I could just parse out those, but that's kind of a pain!

Thanks for sticking with me through this. I appreciate it!

You are correct. The 500 only supports LRF.

I ran it, but it bombed out with errors. Do you just get a command line and then type markdown-calibre text.txt?
