@Pocket of Books - as per post 496 from theducks, close calibre and rename %CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY%\plugins\Generate Cover.json to something like ...over.json.save. The PI should create a new Generate Cover.json that will allow you to ensure that it works on 'default settings'

If you've only got a few pro-forma covers it may be easier to recreate them, you'll find the images in the %CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY%\resources\images\genera te_cover folder. Otherwise once you know the PI is working then you could edit the original json file to replace the font names with something 'boring' like Times New Roman. You'd need to change the value of "name", from say Freestyle Script to Times New Roman, in lines such as these:

Code:
"fonts": {
        "title": {
          "size": 42, 
          "name": "Freestyle Script", 
          "align": "center"
        }, 
        "series": {
          "size": 18, 
          "name": "Freestyle Script", 
          "align": "center"
        }, 
        "custom": {
          "size": 18, 
          "name": "Forte", 
          "align": "center"
        }, 
        "author": {
          "size": 36, 
          "name": "Freestyle Script", 
          "align": "center"
        }
      },
