How to change text font in the "File Preview" of Calibre E-book Editor?

Hello!

I was wondering how to change the font of the text in the File Preview panel of Calibre E-book Editor.

I tried going to "Preferences" and then changed the font for "Serif Text" in the tab labelled "Preview Settings". But rather than changing to the font I selected, it always just kept changing to Arial...

I even tried to change all three fonts to the one I wanted, but it still came out as Arial :'(

Please view the attached image for reference

Thank you!!!

I'd try another font version

Also try restarting the editor - I've had instances of editor preferences not taking effect until I close and open the editor.

IIRC those font settings are ONLY USED if your book only calls calls a Generic face (Serif, sans...) or the font is unavailable to the viewer(fallback)

I suspect your stylesheet calls for Ariel

You basically canceled the differences by setting them all the same.
