Perhaps I didn't explain it well enough. I have some books which have certain portions of text (not the whole book) with css style {font-family: monospace}. The Kobo seems to render these portions in the font selected in the font menu, i.e. as if the styling was {font-family: serif}.

For example, I do not want computer code snippets rendered in the book's main serif font. Neither do I want the same book's main body text rendered in a special monospace font. I want a serif font for the main book and a monospace font for the code snippets.

If I wanted to read a book which is a screenplay -- usually rendered completely in monospace -- it wouldn't be a problem to load and select a monospace font from the font list for the whole book.

I have a similar problem with some of my own created epubs which need some portions only in a small-caps font. I was quite happy to create them this way because rendering small-caps was not a problem on any of my previous readers -- mainly because of MR community hacking offerings it has to be said. I do not know of any ereader which can support font-variant: small-caps as standard.
