I've been experimenting with Calibre and the CSS override and have found some interesting bits.

I don't know if it's a Calibre or Sony issue (my guess: Sony) but early tests seem to not be overriding the font face when the font-weight attribute is normal.

With everything else remaining the same, changing the font-weight to bold also picks up the font-family selection.

I've tried it with bold, but I haven't tried any of the other allowed vales yet.

And, with the embedded font, the initial formatting/indexing seems to take forever.
