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). |
When I use CSS code to specify specific fonts, I do this for my own use and do not have to add he font files to the ePub.. If I am going to embed for others, I will embed in the ePub file itself.
I did take a recently converted ePub and specify that the headers should use the default sans-serif font and it worked perfectly.
