Alternatives and their result (I've changed the definition to Gentium):

1.
.calibre {
display: block;
font-family: sans-serif, "Gentium";

Result: Default font is some sans-serif font (Univers);
Unsurprisingly, the reader's other sans-serif fonts are available.
Surprisingly, all the serif fonts are too!
No Gentium.

2.
.calibre {
display: block;
font-family: "Gentium", sans-serif;

Result: Default font = Gentium
Trying to change to Frutiger / univers ==> I still get Gentium
So, unable to change to any other font...

3.
.calibre {
display: block;
font-family: "Gentium", "Frutiger Neue", "Univers Next", "Palatino nova";

Result: Default font : Gentium
Trying to change to Frutiger, Univers or Palatino ==> I still get Gentium!

Well, I'm stuck! Either I can have all the reader's system fonts but no Gentium, OR I have Gentium and no other font! And what I need is BOTH!

Is there any way I can indicate ALTERNATIVE fonts rather than FALLBACK fonts?
