1. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
Dog of War Oct 19, 2010 7:08 AM (in response to E Diane King)Cs4 or Cs5?
Did you change the fonts using style sheets or find font? If find font (or other swap) do you have Preserve Local Overrides checked?

2. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
E Diane King Oct 19, 2010 7:42 AM (in response to Dog of War)Mostly I changed the fonts in the styles, but I then did do a Find Font to check for local formatting overrides and forced all the fonts over. The weird thing is that the font it is hanging on is the font that worked in the other two books. When I open the epub, there is no Times Roman in it, while the other two files look correct.

3. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
P Spier Oct 19, 2010 8:43 AM (in response to E Diane King)Note that Times Roman is not the same font as Times New Roman, and I wonder if maybe you have some blank space somewhere set to use Times instead of TNR. Times used to be, and might still be, the default font in an unmodified ID installation on the Mac.

4. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
E Diane King Oct 19, 2010 9:48 AM (in response to P Spier)That's what I would have thought, but when I open the epub file, the Times New Roman is missing, so I'm assuming that that is the font that is not embedding, and it is embedding in the other two books. I've checked in all the docs under find font and there is not other version of Times in use.

5. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
marcusstringer Oct 20, 2010 6:55 PM (in response to E Diane King)Well for starters, you are not really allowed to embed font in ePub files that are going to be for distribution.
iPad iBooks will NOT use embeded fonts.
Did you have the embed font checkbox ticked
you haven't said what verion you are using.
Is the Font information in the CSS file?
@font-face {
font-family: "Times New Roman PS"; serif;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
src:local(TimesNewRomanPS-Bold);

6. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
E Diane King Oct 21, 2010 5:10 AM (in response to marcusstringer)I'm in CS5. I have no idea how to read the CSS data. I'm guess that requires unpacking the epub, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.
I'm not making these ebooks for ipad exclusively. I'm making them to sell, so they may be read on any of the ebook readers available on the market or on a computer.

10. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
Dog of War Oct 21, 2010 6:36 AM (in response to BobLevine)I actually use StuffIt Expander but figured it's easier for most people to just change it to .zip and go from there.

11. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
E Diane King Oct 21, 2010 6:44 AM (in response to Dog of War)Thanks. Yes, Times New Roman, the font I actually use is shown in the CSS template. Not sure where Time Roman is coming from since it is not in use in the documents and Times New Roman is making it into the CSS.

Dog of War Oct 21, 2010 8:45 AM (in response to E Diane King)It's not your [Basic Paragraph] font is it?

13. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
E Diane King Oct 21, 2010 11:31 AM (in response to Dog of War)Times Roman? No, Times New Roman.OTF is my basic paragraph font. That was the first style I changed when I stripped all my fancy fonts out of the book.

14. Re: epub export cannot embed Times Roman
marcusstringer Oct 21, 2010 2:34 PM (in response to E Diane King)I wouldn't embed any fonts in the epub file, if you are going to sell it.
Also be aware that CS5 doesn't put the "" around the font name in the Template.CSS file.
Is will cause the epub not to display correctly.
@font-face {
font-family: "Times New Roman PS"; serif;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
src:local(TimesNewRomanPS-Bold);
}
