Oh, crap, I hate it when someone says something that has me wondering if I should go back and fix up ALL my previous ebooks!

So are you saying it'd be advisable to add in font-family for all my <p> tags, too?

That's all you need. When you make the text italic or bold, it will use the correct font style.
What I had had before was this...

Code:
html>body {
	font-family: minya, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
	font-size: 124%;
}

body {
	font-family: minya, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
	font-size: 100%;
	line-height: 138%;
}
I actually have no idea now why I included the "html>body..." part (and yes, I also just noticed that my font-sizes don't match -- oops!), but I'm sure I must have gotten that "recommendation" from these forums at some point, i.e. to include both the "body" specs in one CSS as well as "html>body" -- but don't ask me why, though, all I know is that I did that because someone, somewhere, told me to do it that way.

Either way, it certainly doesn't hurt to include both, does it (and then also the font-family attributes for <p>, of course)?
