Really? My Kobo for Android only offers 'Droid Sans Serif', 'Droid Serif' or 'Publisher Default' (which I'm assuming means embedded fonts). IMO life is too short to be embedding fonts so I only have a choice of 2. Have I missed something?

On the eink Kobos, my experience has been that if you code css as body {font-family: serif} then the Kobo is able to override with the user-selectable font-of-choice stored on the device. However, if instead the font-family is in a css class (e.g. .calibren {font-family: serif; ...} after a calibre conversion) then the eink Kobo can't override and uses its default serif font (Georgia) instead of the user-selected one.
