The snag I keep running into is that I want to encrypt the font, to help keep me from embedding a font that is usable outside of the epub, being ever-so-slightly closer to license compliance.
I haven't heard of a case of an epub with an encrypted embedded font which is tagged as "Print and Preview" and still illegal. Has that hit the courts yet? That's how embedded-font pdfs get away with it - the font is unusable if extracted. Yeah-yeah, I know, better safe than stupid, but still...
I've been using the Adobe encryption scheme, which isn't the "official" scheme put forth by the epub committee.
So, does Apple allow for encrypted fonts? ('cause I still can't get that to validate).
And has anybody gotten the blessed encryption scheme to work anywhere?
