Problem overwriting default books font
I am using css code like this to overwrite the default font for all books:

Code:
font-family: "DejaVu Sans", serif !important;
It works for some books but for some it doesn't. Why?

Are you doing this for eBook you'll be reading on a Kindle? Also, post the CSS (in a code block) of one of the books that fails.
