Reply To: Embedding fonts in EPUBs? Most of mine won't embed.

If you are planning on embedding fonts, you need to be using InDesign CS5.5 or CS6 for generating eBooks. InDesign provides an option for embedding fonts into EPUB files when you export them. Upon export, the font files are encrypted and a special file is added to the package that allows the fonts to be decrypted by an eBook reading device. The only devices that are compatible with this type of font encryption are Adobe supported devices which are listed on this page: https://blogs.adobe.com/digital…..ed-devices. Out of this list, the most popular devices are the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo Reader, and the Android eReader for Samsung Galaxy tablets. So quite a few popular devices support this method of font embedding. Unfortunatley, this leaves out the iBooks app for Apple devices and all Kindle devices because they don't support the encryption method used.
