CSS rules

First of all, a big thank you for the development of Calibre. It is a tremedous tool. If I were not starving right now, I'd send you money. I have been playing with it for only alittle while, and am still discovering functionalty, so please forgive me if my questions are 'newby-ish'.

But secondly, some questions about the way Calibre handles CSS.
  1. When specifying fonts to embed in a conversion, like MOBI to EPUB, the @font-face decalaration in the converted book inlcudes a panose specification which I'm pretty sure is deprecated. Why?
  2. When specifying fonts to embed in a conversion (MOBI to EPUB), the @font-face declaration always points to the wrong location for the font files, and I have to adjust the parenthetical address. Why?
  3. When specifying a @viewport or @-ms-viewport declaration, the Calibre Tools>Check Book function regards these as errors. Why?
  4. The Search replace function is great, except there's no way to accurately structure a multiple line replacement string vecause I cannot see/access charaters like line breaks and & nbsp ;, and soem other characters. So I have to switch to a text editor for that. But when I paste mutliple line strings into the replace reticule they work - they just don't display the operators. Why?

Keep up the good work!
