I'm a bit of a novice with html, but I opened the main ebook htm file in an editor and added:

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">

to the section after <body>. Naturally I added </span> to the end, before </html>.

I have no idea what the difference is between <span style> and <font=> but at least it works. I am forced to use a font size of 10 because if I go to 9 in Calibre some characters are too close to each other.

What is interesting is that the lrf file is 0.4MB without specifying a font and 1.1MB with Times New Roman!

I did see <pre> before the main body text and </pre> afterwards, not sure what they do either.

Thanks again for the help - I am beginning to get a grip on it all!
