Any instances of
Code:
@font-face {
some font related styles
}
and
Code:
font-family: font-name(s);
The @font-face rules will generally be grouped together in the CSS, and you can do a simple find/replace using wildcards or regular expressions for the font-family rules.
Then rebuild the epub using calibre and you're done. |
Yes!
Deleting the whole CSS file is risky. I've seen a LOT of ebooks that were formatted in ridiculously convoluted ways, mostly because whoever created the file converted it from another format like MS Word or some other non-ebook format. I've seen ePubs that had one
<P> tag and hundreds or thousands of
<br />,
<span>, and
<div> tags. If you delete the CSS from a book like that you will probably have a difficult to read book.
