Under "Look and Feel" I found an option for font family. But I want to specify two fonts, not just one. What do I do? Suggestions?
Did you embed Times New Roman and Verdana? If not, Sigil is picking it up from being installed on your system. You need to embed them in the ePub for them to work in say ADE. Now, as for converting to Mobi, Mobi does not support embedded fonts so that won't work. If have the fonts properly embedded in the ePub, you can convert to KF8 (AZW3) and if your Kindle supports KF8, you'll be all set.
