You got me!

I was thinking of that while I was writing my message, but decided it was not worth mentioning it

Yes, specifying generic font families is fine, nothing wrong with that (do current ePUB readers provide a complete set of these families, anyway?). My point was that a particular font face should not be used if it's not embedded, because there's no guarantee the readers will have that font, or even the possibility of installing it (or at least, the creator should assume that many readers will not see the intended font).

P.S. I've been often told that I always want to have the last word, so I apologize it if looks like I'm arguing for the sake of argument, it seem's it's just my way
