Font selected in settings replaced in preview by Times New Roman

I have a question about DT3 on Mac. I’ve selected the font Kuenstler 480 in the plain text font and rich text and note font options in settings, but my Markdown files show the preview in Times New Roman instead. (The editing view is still in Kuenstler.) Most fonts, when selected in settings, show up in both the editing view and the preview. Does someone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? Is it an issue with DT, Markdown, or the font itself?

Which version of DEVONthink do you use? Do you use any stylesheets (see Settings > Files > Markdown and Settings > Web)?

I think that your style sheet or the default one resets the font. If you want to guarantee a certain appearance of your MD preview, you should use a style sheet that specifies the rules.

Thanks for the responses. I use DT 3.9.13. Don’t use any stylesheets, but I’ll try adding a custom one.

DT always inserts its own stylesheet in the MD preview. Here’s what I see:

body { margin:1.5em; color:hsl(0, 0%, 18%); background-color: #fff; font-family: Century Schoolbook, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; }

So, a simple CSS

body { 
  font-family: "Kuenstler 480";
}

might suffice.
