- Set the styles for the body text (paragraphs and related).

What I've tried so far
- Change the serif family in the font preferences: it doesn't change it at all.
- Use custom CSS for p elements: it only allows me to change the color but it doesn't allow me to change the font, nor the line height. It even doesn't recognize the CSS examples provided by the app itself.

Environment
- Linux Mint 17.3
- Calibre 1.25

Any thoughts on how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance
Wow, that is a really old Calibre version. I assume there is a reason for not being more current? Calibre 3 is in Betas

Assuming your CSS works in other ways

This is a common DEVICE issue. The ignore certain CSS styling that they provide user controls for.
Some devices have a "use Publishers Styles" setting
