Fonts for Sony Reader
I have a html document (from Microsoft Word save as) which contains a few paragraphs. Some paragraphs are in Serif font (Times New Roman) and some are in San-Serif (Arial). Howerver, when I use Calibre to convert this document to epub, the output epub file shows all paragraphs are in Serif font only.
Have I missed some thing? or what I should do to have the epub file display correctly in Sony Reader. |

I don't have any experience with a Sony Librie but you could try this:
Open your HTML file in a text editor. Look for occurrences of font-family:Arial and replace with the more generic font-family:sans-serif (or font-family:Arial, sans-serif if you prefer). There is a good chance that your reader doesn't know what Arial means. |

You can also embed fonts directly into lrf (under lrf output)
You can use the lrf or convert the lrf to epub |
