Insert metadata at start of book without font

Hey all, I adore the add metadata to book function while converting! But is there a way to do it without the metadata being added in sans-serif?

I have bad hands, clicking hurts, so having to remove the font every time sucks (yes I have to remove the font, call it a compulsion if you like). It adds up fast when I'm converting a bunch of books at once.

I'd like to just tell Calibre to insert the metadata without any font every time by default, but I can't figure out how.

Probably it's very simple and I'm being a twit about it...? I did try searching for a solution but couldn't find anyone else as bothered by fonts as myself!

You need to create an override for the 'jacket', see ==>> Overriding icons, templates, et cetera

Copy the 'jacket' folder from the <install>\resources\ directory to the <config>\resources\ directory and then edit the 'font-family' entries in the stylesheet.css file, see ==>> W3 Schools - CSS Fonts
