Hi Tim
My company’s software ‘CircularFLO’ will now convert PDFs to Fixed Layout EPUB3 and KF8. More info on that here https://www.circularflo.com/instructions/#pdf_tools
You will need the latest update from here https://circularflo.com/update/ to access these new tools.
Thanks
Ken Jones
Hi Janis. What type of font is the one you are having problems with? For EPUB fonts must be TrueType or OpenType so that would be the first thing to check.
Beyond that it sounds as if the individual word positioning that InDesign uses is causing problems perhaps?
If you would prefer to use PostScript fonts, to have text positioned by text frame instead of by word and to add your read aloud text highlighting without coding then please give my company’s software CircularFLO a try! (https://CircularFLO.com)
If you are looking for fixed layout KF8 then CircularFLO https://www.CircularFLO.com is commercial software which creates KF8 directly from InDesign and supports live text without these issues.
I have a feeling that the fonts are working in Kindle Previewer because the fonts are present on the Mac/PC you are running Kindle Previewer on. They then fail when the file is moved to a device without the fonts active.
Have you tried deactivating the fonts on the Mac/PC before opening the eBook? They should still appear when reading the eBook if the fonts are working correctly within it.
