Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the style.css file used in WPAndroid, setting font-family to Webdings and font-color to red, then compare the rendered screenshots. Confirm that the stylesheet's color is applied while the requested font is not; done means the rendered text uses the installed font without regressing the color styling.

Description

Seems that, despite providing a font-family attribute in our Stylesheets, with a font that is definitively installed and active on my Mac, the font is apparently not used in the rendered screenshots.

For example, even when I edit the style.css file used in WPAndroid to set font-family: 'Webdings' and font-color: red, I can see that the text appears red (so the stylesheet has been found and used) but still in the default font (or at least a font that legible and definitively not Webdings)
