You are correct, but where is the fun

My point was to use a code block that would not change the "Germanized" look even if the user would change in his preferences the viewing font. At the beginning, I was naively expecting the Kindle fonts to support that code block natively. Of course my idea failed when I needed to embed my own font.

Coding the book with characters out of the BMP range, and converting to html entities was a fun struggle anyway.
