Thanks for the updated version. Now epub files will open. Since I use the Proba Pro font family on every epub, I only noticed a change when using "1. Default (unclassified)".
Since Proba Pro is sans-serif I also tried "3. Sans-Serif". That did nothing for me.

Changing the values for "Font Weight" and "Decoration Weight" works, but I don't see the use for me personally. Changing the font weight can be useful if you want a more bold like or finer font appearances. But for me the regular Proba Pro font is pleasant enough for reading, after all I tried several fonts until I stucked with this one. If one relys on embedded fonts your plugin may be a good option, I guess.

I also don't like it that I have to get in the top menu every time I changed a value like "Font Weight". That are 3 taps just to get into the Advanced Typography menu again. When I change the value for "Font Face" for example I get back to where I started in the menu. That should be the same after value changing.
