Ok, thanks.

I've figured out my problem in the second question, e.g., where I needed to use bitter bold for the strong and b tags.

I'm not sure if you're answering my other, which is now an admittedly new question: if I have a class courgette as in my first example which uses an embedded font and there are no other @font-face or font-family things in my css, will the body font be Georgia? On the kobo using its reader I don't see any way to change that except to use an embedded font. On the other hand, with koreader, it does what I think is the right thing which is you can pick which font you want for the body font, when it's not specified in the css and you're using embedded fonts for just a class (e.g, a dingbat font or my courgette example).

In other words, assume my first example with courgette is all that there is. Won't the other text be in Georgia?
