Yep - I'm running Sigil 0.9.9 now and everything seems fine. I was able to add Microsoft true type fonts (using a Microsoft TTF installer in the software manager in Mint) which pretty much solved my problem with readability and assigning particular fonts to a text. Using this package, one can install most any true type font as well as the fonts that come with the package.

A minor problem I encountered - using a dark theme in Mint, the background colour in "Book" view is also dark. I couldn't find a workaround for this problem in Sigil "preferences." By simply adding "body {background-color: white;}" to the style-sheet takes care of everything.

By the way - Visual Studio Code comes packaged with Mint. Microsoft seems to be using its Vulture Capital to corner the open-source programming market (Visual Studio Code and Github). I'm learning VIM.
