File Preview Font BUG
In the editor, I have a problem with the file preview. If I select the font I want to use for the file preview, it does not properly display and I see some serif font instead of the font I want. But if I embed the font, the file preview will display this font.

Can this please be fixed? I've attached the font family in question. Thanks.

For me,

With no embedded fonts, the file preview uses the default font from Preferences (screenshot)

With embedded fonts, the file preview shows the proper font from the CSS

I cannot replicate this. Fonts specified in CSS are used in the preview panel, provided they are installed system wide, even when not embedded.

As a simple test I added style="font-family: Consolas" to the <body> tag of a simple html file and the text was indeed rendered in consolas even though it was not embedded in the book.
