KoReader - fonts

I have KoReader (2018- 12) running on a Kobo Glo. When displaying an EPUB document which has paragraphs declared as :

font-family : serif
font-family : sans-serif
and
font-family : monospace

I'm getting confusing results.

I have embedded fonts turned ON, the document does not have any fonts embedded in it - I am relying on the above generic font declarations.

The document displays correctly on other EPUB readers but in KoReader both the serif and sans-serif paragraphs display using the font selected in KoReader's menu. However the monospace paragraph displays in monospace irrespective of the menu selection.

Effectively this means that it's all or nothing for san-serif either the whole document (apart from monospace) is in serif or sans-serif.

If it wasn't for the monospace stuff displaying correctly I would think that KoReader didn't respect font-families within the EPUB, however it does handle that case.

Is this a known issue or a design decision ?
