@The Ducks

Yes, I can see this... fallback fonts. Problem is that if the ereder finds GenBas (and yes, that is Gentium Basic indeed), it is happy with that and will not go any further; that is, I cannot switch it to Universe or Frutiger Neue.

@JSWolf

Thanks for the tip. I edited the font definition in page_style.css and then the occurrences of that font in the stylesheet.css proper, tricking the ereader to believe that sans-serif is GenBas. BUT, like above, when I open the file, I'm stuck with GenBas only (which btw is a serif font, but I don't think this matters).

I will try your second approach - with serif-- but I'm skeptical...

Second edit: Nope. Not working either...
