Thinking about this some more, I realized that I might have a problem with keeping specified/embedded fonts in the books. I read kepubs on a Kobo. My understanding is that if I select a particular font in the Kobo's Aa menu, that font will be used regardless of anything specified/embedded in the kepub. Only if I select Publisher Default will any specified/embedded font in the kepub be used. But, in that case, what font will the Kobo use for unspecified body text?
Assuming I want to keep it set to Publisher Default to see those few cases that benefit from embedded fonts, should I change my body CSS in my stylesheet to include a serif font (assuming a serif font is the best for body text)?
Code:
body {
/* Basic Styling for BODY Section of a File */
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
orphans: 1;
padding: 0;
widows: 1;
font-family: serif;
}
Should I include more than the generic "serif" in the font-family? What would be a good specific and fallback body font for the Sage? |
There is no need to specify any font for the body font. Just pick the one you want to use from the list in the Aa menu.
