This is the original test file copied from Word:

Times New Roman 12 pt.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.

Georgia 12 pt.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.

Arial 12 pt.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.

============

I can’t do a screen shot of the reader, but it looks like this:

Times New Roman 12 pt.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.

Georgia 12 pt.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.

Arial 12 pt.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.

I've attached my original RTF test file, and the ePub generated by Calibre.

The lower case f is a good indicator, but I like to look at the tops of the lower case serif fonts. Times New Roman serifs slant down to the left while Georgia serifs stick out straight. The lower case t is a plain cross in Georgia, but the top left side in Times New Roman looks like a triangle. Unfortunately, I need to have the letters fairly large to tell the difference.

Thanks for clarifying the double quote issue. Text in Post #3 shows the Georgia in double quotes.
I used Sigil to add in the missing body { font-family: "Georgia", serif; } statement – no change and then put double quotes around the first appearance of Georgia, ahead of the font location references.

@font-face {
font-family: “Georgia”;
panose-1: 2 4 5 2 5 4 5 2 3 3

I don’t know if it is appropriate to add double quotes there or not, but it didn’t make any difference. So far everything I’ve tried still leaves me with Times New Roman.

Thanks again for your help.
