my desktop software is at 3.5 & showing no desire to upgrade itself, but I have no plans to use that anyway, unless forced to in order to do some Kobo-specific thing.

I edit with sigil 7.0.2 mostly, sometimes with the new calibre editor , Windows 7 74 bit.
but I've not been in the habit of removing all font-family & line-height stuff. Anything that had no effect on a Sony reader display was just left in the book.

Then I got into the habit of adding p {font-family: times;( via calibre conversion CSS) just to improve sigil book view; not realising , until Jackie enlightened me, that current sigil version has a preference setting for that.

and even more recently I began adding extra hyphenation and widows/orphans settings as they mattered to the Sony T3, but not to the Sony T2

Jackie explained very well, that because Calibre puts new font-family CSS into specific classes the kobo device options will not over-ride it.

I've tested all that she wrote on font-family issues & she is spot on.

I think I am now clear on all the line-height & font-family issues, except for not having a simple method to find zap all specific line-height instances during a convert or a modify operation.

I tested with also with a few untouched epub library loans, direct from ADE onto Kobo, & see mixtures of locked/unlocked fonts + locked /unlocked line heights
