Text Edge preview 6, .oam files

They’re called overlays for a reason. You cannot put static content above them.

You can try turning the text into a button that, IMO, is a rather dangerous workaround. Why not just put that text right into the Edge file?

I have not tried it in Edge but you'd be taking a chance with that. What if the reader is not online?

I haven't tried editing Edge CSS but for HTML articles I've used @font-face to embed fonts successfully into the article. Always check the font license before doing so.

Hi Bob

I've used @font-face now and font squirel to add fonts to the edge animate OAM file, but it still doesnt work. I'm clearly not linking the oam file to the css file! could I just point the web view to the html file thats generated - retorical question, I'll go and check!!

UPDATE

seems I had a buggy indesign file, I created a new page, added the OAM file (that uses @font-face) and the font now works on the iPad! ho hum, but glad it works

Hmm, in my version it´s not working

I´m using a custom font. Included with a stylesheet but with the OAM file i´ts not working

you need to embed the actual fonts into the html folder, I'm pretty sure though that the fonts still don't get seen if you use the .OAM, only works if you point the web view the the edge HTML folder. Did this a year ago so memory is a bit stretchy. OAM is very clunky with fonts and doesn't work with external JS either. Unless that has changed in the last 6-9 months! HTH Alistair
