Reply To: Embedded fonts with export to epub really anoying

I am very wary of the idea of embedding fonts in epub documents. The main reason is that (as far as I know) almost every epub reader other than Adobe's own Digital Editions ignores them. Are you sure that your doc will be read only in Digital Editions?

That said, it does seem like a CSS problem. I would recommend creating your own CSS file and export the epub with “empty” style declarations. Then you can just fit your own CSS file in, instead of relying on the one ID makes.

This is going to be a major topic at the Print and ePublishing Conference in Seattle in May.
