how to get a serif font to work in an epub
hi, trying ti get a serif font to work in an epub made by calibre.
i am altering the css by adding: body { font-family: "Times", "Times New Roman", serif; } to the stylesheet.css file in the unzipped epub. doing a kindlegen on the opf, and viewing the mobi file in kindle reader shows me a serif font. zipping up the epub (it still passes epubcheck) and viewing with mobi reader shows me a sans-serif font. how do i make the epub use a serif font? thanks |

The usual advise for a MOBI ebook is not to set the font, because WMR (for example) allows the reader to choose the font they like. I think it should honor "serif" though. |
