Interesting Psyke,

I loaded this into the Kobo and also opened it with the calibre build in viewer and ADE and compared the three side by side.

calibre was the only one that displayed the Wingdings hyroglyphics.

Comic Sans, Pristina and Segoe I thought looked the same on all three.

Times New Roman and New Courier had minute differences that I could see on the Kobo and ADE but not in calibre (both lines were Times New Roman)

When "sans serif" was selected on the Kobo the only font to change was New Courier.

Incidently 1.4MB is a pretty big file for a few lines of text???

Thanks for the test

Cheers
