Calibre's ebook-viewer and embedded fonts in EPUB books

gentoosiast · 03-20-2013, 07:48 AM

Hi. Is it possible to override fonts, embedded by publisher in EPUB books, with my preferred fonts using CSS rules in User Stylesheet? It looks like declaring font-family: "Font Name" !important; isn't enough to achieve this.

Do a conversion and use filter css to remove font info. You can use the viewer sylesheet but getting it to work means you have to create selectors of higher specificity than those used in the book, which may not always be easy.
