Maybe I should remove all fonts and replace with Calibri sans-serif ?. would that fix it ?.
reread my description

There is no ENHANCED BY.

There is no problem, serif is a basic category

Calibre is doing it properly by providing the INSTRUCTION to use a serif font if you did not ship Calibri with you book (and not available for use on the device)

A clearer example :
You want to use 'Old English' for chapter titles.
So you add. font-family: 'Old English' to your CSS

Jobs hated that font, so it is not available on any product made by their company.
What do you want to do?
1) Buy a License and ship 'Old English' with every book
2) List a basic fallback to use in these cases: serif (free)
3) Cry, because the manufacturer ignores the font-family instruction, even if you included it and $100 worth of licensed fonts


Fallback family is only advisory
, serif is 7 characters
