I don't. Do you have an idea how I could find out?
Maybe I found one hint: When I connect my Tolino to the computer, I can see a folder named 'fonts'. It only contains one file that's called 'size.csv'.
If I open that file with an editor, it looks like that:
Code:
Bitter,16,18,20,23,26,31,38,48,64,82,102
Droid Serif,16,18,20,23,26,31,38,48,64,82,102
Fira Mono OT,15,17,19,22,26,31,38,48,64,82,102
Fira Sans OT,16,18,20,23,26,31,38,49,65,83,103
OpenDyslexic,15,17,19,22,25,29,36,46,63,,81,101
Source Sans Pro,18,20,22,25,29,34,42,53,67,85,105
Vollkorn,19,21,23,26,30,36,44,56,70,88,108
I'm not sure what these values mean (maybe the steps of font sizes I can set?), but there are obviously the names of the fonts in here. And you're right about the 'Source Sans Pro'. But e.g. 'Bitter' and 'Vollkorn' and 'OpenDyslexic' are spelled exactly as a did in my stylesheet, and the Tolino didn't show them anyway.
BTW 'Fira Mono OT' is not in the list I can choose from in the device settings, so maybe that's the mysterious Courier-like monospace font that only shows up when I assign 'monospace'.

any bookmaker worth their salt can make a Kindle ebook in which they can grace the book with a body font that the reader can override with a click. Thus, best of both worlds--can see if if'n they wanna, can turn it off if'n they wanna, don'tcha know?

There's a catch: As soon as you select a different font on the device, not just the body font is replaced but every font in the whole ebook – even if it is an important one like a Symbol font or an exotic language font. So if you don't want to risk ruining the layout, you better leave your device on the 'Publisher font' setting.
