Times New Roman and New Courier had minute differences that I could see on the Kobo and ADE but not in calibre (both lines were Times New Roman)
When "sans serif" was selected on the Kobo the only font to change was New Courier.
Incidently 1.4MB is a pretty big file for a few lines of text??? 
Thanks for the test

Because it's not the text; it's the embedded fonts
. The text for a book is usually relatively small, but when you start putting in more fonts, particularly higher quality ones, then the size starts to go up. Times is about 800kb just itself. wingding is only 80kb..
