Ah, yes, my sweet, but K8 does. Works a pip, too. @sachin, w/regard to iBooks, embedding fonts is a PITA, but it can be done, we do it all the time. But it's not as simple as, for example, a straight-up embed for Nook. What have you tried, please, precisely? HTH, Hitch |

I just had one niggling problem with an embedded font, showed fine in Sigil, calibre, ADE etc. but didn't show on reader.
The problem was an incorrect font-face and stylesheet error, I had an Italicised font, but in font-face definition had 'font-style: normal;' yet in style-definition had 'font-style: italic;'. This as I said showed up properly in the desktop software, but not on the readers. When I realised the error and adjusted the font-face definition to 'font-style: italic;' to match the style (and what type the embedding font actually was) then it also showed up in the reader as well. |

If he's not using the Apple XML file, in his META-INF, it probably won't work. He has to have the display options set, the platform identified (or default to all), and has to have "specified fonts" set to true, or the book will default to the standard iBooks fonts. HTH, Hitch |

Keroberos: I'm done with that extra work.
But still there is a problem in rendering And I guess that is because of problem in UNICODE support in iPad for embedded font. Lemme work on it later. Anyhow, any suggestions to work on android phones? |

@sachin: Do you have the updated ePUB? Because the sample you uploaded doesn't have the XML file that Apple requires. If you've done that, and you're still having a problem, why don't you upload the revised ePUB so we can all take a look, okay?

The same principle should work also on android devices. However, it will depend on the application of course how it will be handled.

This is a very minor thing, but every engine is slightly different; I noted that in your CSS sheets, in the font-face declarations, in the src url, you did not have the entire url between single quotes, e.g.: Code:
@font-face { font-family: IMFePIit28P; src: url('../Fonts/IMFePIit28P.ttf'); } Code:
src: url(../Fonts/Malige-n.ttf); } HTH, Hitch |

Sachin, I have nothing to say about Android. At my shop, we build books around ADE, Nook, iBooks (in ePUB) and Amazon (mobi). I gave up trying to get every book to work on every rinky-dink reader or reading software out there; it's literally impossible. Try the fix first and see if that solves some portion of your problems.
HTH, Hitch |
