The associated CSS file specifies the font to use (cursive), which you are apparently unhappy with. Just download the file, and change your standard gutenberg.css file to use the font that /you/ are most comfortable with. Or don't use a CSS file at all, and get a less appealing version, which is still superior to that provide by Project Gutenberg. (You can do this online with IE and Firefox by selecting "no styles" in your browser options).

This is stupid. The job of the typesetter is to make intelligent typographical decisions -- including understanding how the limitations of the media he is targeting is going to affect those choices. The idea that the end customer is going to edit your file simply doesn't work. If you want to get people to buy into your view of how the world ought to be coded -- at least make something that looks half attractive and is readable. _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d
