Yes, I see both fonts Caecilia and Bookerly on 5.6.5.

Like you said, I could manually change Baskerville to my custom font, so i treaded backwards and found few post suggesting ways how i could do that.
I stumbled upon these steps, correct me if i understand it incorrectly.

1. It says editing fc-override.tpl in linkfonts/etc directory. There is one more file fc-override-serif.tpl. which one of the two should i modify for Baskerville?
2. Since, I am on windows, i am suggested using notepad++ for editing files.
3. Once I open the file, I have to replace "%TO_OVERRIDE%" to "Baskerville" and also "%TO_USE%" to "Clear Sans" in linkfonts/fonts ".

One thing i find missing here is it doesnot mention creating any file in conf.d directory, am I the only one to find it missing or should i go ahead and change Baskerville font without worrying about conf.d directory changes?
