I have many "complete works" which have their own requirements (notably poetry), and I might wish for a starker font when reading conditions are poor (or my eyes tired), without wanting it to apply to all.

Does anyone know how to work around this?

and so if the database was corrupt, the per-book settings might not be loaded/saved, while the global settings would still be loaded/saved from the config file.
