Thank you for your quick response. Maybe you could answer another for me. Before your response, all text in my epub, whether it was serif or sans-serif, defaulted to the font selected by the reader. In a test epub file, I deleted font-family: serif and kept font-family:sans-serif as you recommended and in iBooks the headline and body text follow the css rule assigned to them regardless of the font the device is set to. In other words the headlines remain sans-serif even if the reader is set to a serif font. However, in the same sample file in Kindle (Mac OS X version) the headline font does not behave. If the reader’s font is a serif (Georgia for instance) the headline font that’s supposed to display as sans-serif defaults to Georgia. Is this a Kindle quirk? Is there a uniform way I can force devices to stick with the sans-serif for a headline even if the reader selects a serif font?
