How to embedd/use medium typeface from a font family

[Hobb]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this problem. I would like to embed a Medium typeface from a font family into my epub. When I select Look & Feel / Embed font family, I can select a family, but how do I specify that the Medium typeface should be used instead of the Regular?

Do I need to edit the Extra CSS box?

body { text-align: left;
font-family:"xxxxx-Medium"; }

Or is there a different way to do it?

TIA

(I don't use this. I mostly hand code things like this using the editors S&R)
Look on Conversion: Look and Feel (tab): (fonts area)

IIRC Polish will also do this if this is YOUR 'standard' setting in Preferences: Common: Look and feel (tab)

I use the editor to add the file(s) to the epub and add this this CSS

@font-face {
  font-family: "Charis SIL Compact";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(../fonts/CharisSILR.ttf);
  }
@font-face {
  font-family: "Charis SIL Compact";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(../fonts/CharisSILB.ttf);
  }
@font-face {
  font-family: "Charis SIL Compact";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url(../fonts/CharisSILI.ttf);
  }
@font-face {
  font-family: "Charis SIL Compact";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url(../fonts/CharisSILBI.ttf);
  }
body {
  font-family: "Charis SIL Compact", serif;
}

Thanks, manual editing does the trick.
