I have a question about how isilox converts html (MS-Word html to be specific in this case).

As an example, I have a MS Word document, where most of the font is Arial, but some text is in courier new, to preserve space formatting. I saved this file as an html document in Word, then converted it with isilox v4b3.

When I open it in palm version isilo v4b3 or b4, all the text is in the default font. If I go into the Font selection screen, and change Monospace font to Courier new (from fontbucket), it changes ALL the text of the doc to Courier new, not just the monospaced fonts in the doc.

Is this how font support is supposed to work? I assumed the monospaced font selection would change the monospaced fonts to use that font only, but I may be mistaken, or I may be converting the html doc improperly.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Regards,
Craig.
