Okay this time I made sure that I used a Public domain, no copyright issues, TTF font.

Embedded this in the CSS file, checked that HTML file was displayed correctly in five different Browsers. It did. Hence, I believe that the CSS code is correct.

Then I used this HTML file as an input to Calibre.

When I check the .zip file created by Calibre, just before conversion to MOBI format, I can - See - font has been embedded.

When I check the MOBI output produced Calibre has - apparently - delivered the same old Times New Roman font in the MOBI file output.

I'm reading the MOBI file output in:
Firefox using a FF plugin.
In a Windows Vista - Kindle reader App.
In a iPad - Kindle reader App.

Same old Time New Roman font.

I'm not trying to do anything very fancy. I just want a Sans Serif font to be used in the MOBI file as I think a Sans Serif font is easier to read on a 7inch or 10inch screen.

Any help will be appreciated.
