Hindi epub file format - displayed ??? in ADE. What's rong ?

[bbogdanell]

I have an e-book in hindi with epub extension. It is displayed like ??? in ADE. What's rong ? Does ADE not support hindi unicode? The same document is shown correct as pdf file format.  What is the problem?

You didn't embed the fonts.

Ok, but how can I embed the font used by the file? I found something on Google but sounds a little bit complicated. Do you have an example?

If you have your source as an InDesign document, then you can just let InDesign add the font in for you.  However if you don't want to use InDesign, then our ePub best practices guide both embeds a font and shows one way of doing it.  You can find it on our Digital Publishing Developers network site: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing

I've just tried the InDesign Export to Digital Edition.... The font I use is Akshar Unicode. I checked the "Include the Embeddable Fonts" but the result is still the same ... a lot of ????? in ADE. hmm...
