Special characters/character styles not exporting

[kyriosity]

This is a new one to me. On the book I'm trying to export, none of my character styles (italics, bold, etc.) are exporting to EPUB. And none of my special characters (em dashes, registered trademark symbol, etc.) are showing up correctly. Any ideas? Of course this is a title that we are particularly keen to get published today, which just seems to invite the gremlins into the process, eh? ;^)

Thanks!

A little more info: In the Kindle previewer, it actually looks OK if I set the device to Kindle Voyage or Kindle DX, but the previews in any of the Fires are a mess. The iOS previews are blank, but that may be because I'm on a PC. I usually just preview on Fire (and have never seen these issues before), so I've never even tried the iOS settings before.

Update: I switched the fonts -- changed from Baskerville to Georgia -- and that took care of the special characters issue (yay typographer's quotes!), but not the bold/italics style issue.

No thoughts on this one?

You might have to ask on the Kindle forums. It's clearly not something that has anything to do with InDesign.

If you have an actual Kindle device try to test it there. I remember having a similar issue a while ago. It didn't look good on Kindle Previewer but it was fine on my Kindle Fire. When I uploaded the file to KDP it worked fine. If you can share a sample of the file giving you trouble I can test it.
