knowing the name of sigil's preferred font would speed up the comparison but I never did find out what it defaults to . all I know is that it defaults to somehing which is ugly & is prone to artifacts, so I now always declare an explicit font family.
The default font in Book View is something that QtWebkit chooses. I have no idea how it makes a pick.
