SIGIL_USE_FREETYPE_FONTENGINE This environment variable is Windows Only. Setting this will tell Sigil to use the FreeType Font Engine.

SIGIL_PREVIEW_TIMEOUT Setting this to a number (of milliseconds) will determine the length of time after user input stops while editing in CodeView until Preview is updated. The minimum delay is 1000 milliseconds and the maximum delay can be set up to 10000 milliseconds. Therre is typically no reason to set this unless you are editing huge xhtml files that take too long for Preview to update.

Many users of Sigil develop their own versions of starting xhtml, and css files that they would much prefere using over what Sigil defaults to. To address these concerns, Sigil has added the ability to load user defined starting xhtml, and css files. To create these "templates" simply edit any blank xhtml or css page to your liking and then save it to your Sigil Preferences Location with one of these specific filenames. When you are a Blank HTML or Blank CSS files using Sigil's BookBrowser, sigil will use your templates instead. To prevent their use simply rename or delete them.

More unfortunately, according to the developers of Epubcheck, few e-readers actually support the use of fallback resources or OPF bindings. This leaves epub3 developers in a quandary. Luckily the "object" tag can be used to create an xhtml/html based fallback allowing the spine to be comprised of purely xhtml files.
-Here is an example of how to use the "object" tag in an xhtml file to display an embedded PDF or an xhtml-based alternative as a fallback that works on many older e-readers for that can not handle the PDF format.
