Embed a specific font-family into a epub book without changing style
Hi,

Is it possible to embed a specific font-family(via the option --embed-font-family) in a epub book while keeping the other styles of the original book unchanged by running ebook-convert?

Thanks, Fei.

Use the Editor, NOT Convert
Some basic HTML/CSS skill needed

Yes, I know. I was thinking to embed a font-family just by running a command.

You need to do more than bury the fonts into the book file.
You need to tell styles where / when to use the font (& variants)
