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

An alternative method to font embedding is to specify fonts (done via CSS) that are on the eBook reading device. This means that you can specify which font you want a paragraph to use without having to embed the actual font inside the EPUB file. If the font exists on the reading device, it will be used; otherwise it won't. Some devices have very few fonts installed on them; while others have quite a few. So it's practically impossible to create a single EPUB file that uses the same fonts across the board when using this method. So how do you work around this? At the very least, you are able to specify whether the font used should be Serif or Sans-serif. This way, if an embedded or specified font isn't available, the paragraph will at least appear as Serif or Sans-serif text.
