Then you don't need to embed. Just enjoy reading.

But it's not working? Like I said. On the Kobo, this ebook I've been trying to wrangle does not present in monospace.

YOURS does. So I think the Kobo must have registered the fonts correctly. Which would mean the issue is with this specific ebook, not the Kobo.

But the ebook looks perfect in Calibre Editor and Viewer. So I don't know what the problem is.

Please post the relevent HTML code and the CSS so we can see what the problem is.

It hasn't changed from before, it's still

.blog {
font-family: Courier;
}

The monospaced text is marked with div tags, so
<div class="blog">
<p class="calibre7">texttexttext</p>
</div>

the css for calibre7 is simply
.calibre7 {
display: block;
margin: 1em 0;
}
the 'body' css is
.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
text-align: justify;
margin: 0 5pt;
}

I don't know what else would be relevant to show you?

[JSWolf]

You have to to change .blog to...

.blog {
  font-family: monospace;
}

That didn't work either.

Attaching a scrambled version for others to check. I'm sure it's something super obvious and I'm going to be so embarrassed I missed it...

I downloaded the scrambled file and it is a total mess. Epubcheck was very unhappy with it and even calibre's ebook-editor check was not happy.

Anyhow, I did some regex to correct most of the errors and embedded a monospace font set. The monospace now appears on when the book is sent to my Kobo as an epub. If sent as an .kepub.epub, I need to select Publisher default as the font and then it works. The file I generated is not pretty and I did very little cleanup after my experimenting.

The majority of the errors were when a blockquote was followed by a <b>. Which is legitimate for most web browsers but the ePub spec wants to see a block level element there.

A quick list of block level elements:

Spoiler:

<address>
<article>
<aside>

<div>
<dl>
<dt>
<fieldset>
<figcaption>

I loaded the version that @DNSB fixed up, removed the embedded fonts and left just font-family: monospace; in .blog and I do see the monospace font.

@DNSB is correct that this ePub needs A LOT of work to clean it up as it's a very big mess with a lot of errors. That's why it won't work to display a monospace font. I tried it as you posted it and no monospace font at all. Too many errors.

There's a patch for kepubs to display embedded fonts like epub does, without needing to select Publisher Default.

For various reasons, I am not enthused about adding patches that may hide issues that people who don't patch will see.

Thank you (and to everyone else!) for looking over it! I had no idea this was a mess; it always displayed perfectly on my Kindle. And the ebook was retail, so I really wouldn't have expected it to be a disaster. I did run the bug check from the Calibre Editor, but that wasn't flagging issues for me. I guess I must acquire and learn to use epubcheck!

Also a separate, IMMENSE thank you because I was able to replicate what you did with the scrambled epub, the css/html fixes I mean. AND THE BOOK FINALLY DISPLAYS PROPERLY! So. Much, extreme thanks
