Improve handling of font names and fallbacks for the default font of a book. (Fixes poor rendering of some books in calibre under Windows.)
Thanks for the plugin, and especially the update which fixed the issues I was having with the following 4 (currently free) ebooks ... basically a rotten reedy font and quotes being replaced by periods (.).

Bram Stoker - Bram Stoker: The Complete Novels
Alexandre Dumas - The Three Musketeers Collection
Alexandre Dumas - The Count Of Monte Cristo
Jules Verne - Jules Verne: The Collection

That last ebook, would have to be the largest ebook of text I have ever come across, and it took an absolute age to convert to EPUB and MOBI ... and I did it twice ... on my poor under-powered PC.

2019-03-24 14:17:16 : Convert Started!
2019-03-24 14:17:16 : D:\Calibre Library\Jules Verne\Jules Verne_ The Collection (2707)\metadata.opf
2019-03-24 17:05:27 : Converted to EPUB = Jules Verne - Jules Verne: The Collection
2019-03-24 17:05:36 : Added EPUB format to Calibre

2019-03-24 19:13:29 : Converted to MOBI = Jules Verne - Jules Verne: The Collection
2019-03-24 19:13:38 : Added MOBI format to Calibre
Nearly a whopping 3 hours to create the EPUB and just over 2 hours for the MOBI.

Question
After the first conversion, which resulted in the issues I mentioned, I had removed the ebooks from Calibre. I always do this, because I relocate to another offline PC. When I discovered your plugin had an update, well I added them back again (ADD FOLDER method), so I could re-convert the KFX files to EPUB and MOBI again.

One thing that seemed odd to me, is that the KFX files (previously created by your plugin) appeared to be re-created all over again (kfx-zip etc), which took a while.

Is that needed for some reason, or is there a way I can add them back to Calibre without that process?

NOTE - Clearly in each case, I had a folder with only JPG, OPF, KFX, EPUB and MOBI files in it. There were no voucher files etc.
