Thanks for all your replies. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
My solution, I think, will be in finding out how to get *Windows* to recognize the .woff extension. I'm sure Sigil is fine - I was pointed to these fonts by someone who had installed them in one of her .epubs.

I downloaded a .zip file from {somewhere}. Within this .zip file are several .ttf files, which Windows Explorer displays alongside its icon (an "A" inside a "page"). (Sorry, I don't know how to include a .jpg to show what it looks like)
In this same .zip file are several .woff files, but their icon is a plain, empty "page" icon.
In Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts, I cannot see how to *add* a font. Also in that view, I am unable to show the font file's extension (in all other Explorer windows, there are no hidden extensions) so I can only assume that my existing fonts are .ttf's.

Does anyone know how to persuade Windows 11 that a .woff is, indeed, an actual font file?
