I guess I should be more explicit. I use the following entry in the CSS.

Code:

p, div {
             .......
	font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

Suppose I want to use Fancy Font. The entry would be:

Code:

p, div {
             .......
	font-family:"Fancy Font";
}

The font (Fancy Font.ttf) would have to somehow be installed into the Sigil file. I believe the Misc section is where it should be placed but I'm not sure this is best. Does Sigil automatically look into the Misc section when the CSS call is encountered or are other steps requied?

How should copyrighted fonts be handled or are they not allowed? Can multiple fonts be used?

Cut and try can be a long process and have possible hidden glitches that only show up late in the process. A little tutorial by one of you experts would be very nice.
