The problem you have with this file is that there are font-family statements at a "lower level" than body or body.calibre.

You should be able to correct the already-converted epub by amending the epub's css file in Sigil or with Tweak-epub in calibre (whatever you're comfortable with). Given the settings in your @font-face statements, there is more than one way to fix this but the following 2 steps should work:

1. Change all those instances of

Code:

font-family: "Times New Roman";

to

Code:

font-family: serif; (or font-family: "Liberation";)

and all those instances of

Code:

font-family: Arial;

to

Code:

font-family: sans-serif;  (or font-family: serif; or font-family: "Liberation";)

I don't want to confuse you but I feel I should also add that the above could also have been achieved via the original Calibre conversion to EPUB if the Calibre ExtraCSS had matched your source file. I can't see the source file so I can't tell you what it should have been. If you want to pursue this for future info, send me a PM and we can take it from there.

2. You also need to make sure your actual font files are in exactly the correct directory as specified in your @font-face statements. e.g. you have referred to the Regular serif font as

Code:

res:///Data/fonts/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf

which means that looking at your Sony in your PC's file browser you should have a directory

Code:

[Drive:]/fonts

containing the file

Code:

LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf

Everything is case-sensitive so directory names, filenames and extensions must match EXACTLY.
