Unordered list not changing font

spamis · 02-27-2017, 01:01 PM

I am having a problem with lists in an epub. If I include a font-family (serif) in the css for the list <li> the font for the bulleted text will not change to the font selected on the reading device. If the <li> css does not include any font family the list acts as it should, i.e., it changes along with the rest of the text when I change the font in the device. I can remove all font family references for lists but I was just wondering why this occurs. Is it a bug of some sort? By the way, my stylesheet only has css for <h1>, <p>, and <li> and all of the text in contained in one <div> with no style attached to the div. The problem occurs in iBooks and Kindle.

Does "font-family: serif" work anywhere else? It could very well be that the reading device doesn't match "serif" to the selected font but does something else.

Yes, serif works every place else. Just not inside the list. No matter what I change the reader font to, the font inside the list stays serif and also the same size. Go figure.
