A few questions

Hi,

I've been using Calibre for a good while now but there are still a few things I haven't found out how to do and I haven't been able to find the answers.

1 - Is it possible to set a default font when converting a book to epub? I have a lot of old lit files to convert. I know how to set the size but not the actual font. I've had cases where the lit file was in a sans serif font (looks like Arial) instead of one with serifs. I prefer Georgian if possible. Sometimes if I convert to mobi first that one will come out with a good font and then I can convert mobi to epub. Other times I've had to use Sigil to change the font but that's kind of cumbersome.

2 - Is it possible to filter on a user defined columns. I'm trying to get my library in order and have set up user defined columns of the various bookstores so I'm sure I've actually downloaded everything I've purchased. I can sort by column or do a search but I've abbreviated the names - FW for Fictionwise, BN for Barnes & Noble, etc. so I don't get just the books I want.

3 - Epub tweaks. Whenever I try to do this it opens up a web browser window that I can't edit. I always have to end up opening in Sigil instead when I want to tweak.

Thank you for any help with these.
