Throw this ePub on your Clara. See if you can change fonts on it. I'm at work and don't have access to Sigil or Calibre, but I don't believe StandardEbooks have specified fonts. So you should be able to switch them. At least then you will know that it isn't your Clara (and I am sure it is not).
StandardEbooks has seriously overly complicated code. Plus, some of the CSS code is no good when read an an ePub.

And none of that matters for the purposes the book was used.

It's their overly complicated CSS that's causing the fonts not to work.

That is obviously not true if you read the thread.

Also, that was five days ago and you contributed nothing whereas the StandardEbook showed the OP what the issue was. So you should probably just drop this.

I've upgraded my Clara HD regularly since I bought it about a year ago. No problems so far. All of my >2700 books are loaded via Calibre. Many are purchased Kindle books and others are purchased Kobo books. Others come from all kinds of places. I use Calibre to strip DRM and embedded fonts and convert everything to regular epub. Every upgrade of the Clara HD has been fine. I have tried koreader and nickel menu and so on, but in the end I'm happiest with regular Kobo firmware with no additions, and epubs stripped of DRM and embedded fonts. If you use your Kobo device with ebooks from multiple sources then removing embedded fonts is probably the single best thing you can do to ensure a uniform and pleasant reading experience.
