All I know is they used to. Now they don't

That should not prevent me from specifying the font. In my case, I want the TOC in the same language as the rest of the EPUB.

This could be in addition to the more complete internal TOC.

If Astak ever gets internal links working in epub, that might be an option. Right now, I'd like most of the fixes they add along with the old font behavior.
