Could you describe this with a bit of code?

I've added customs fonts (Equity A and Concourse 3) to an epub I generated myself and the CSS works fine in Safari - I see exactly what I exped to see, given the css and the xhtml.

I also eleminated every error and warning epubcheck reports, passing with flying colors as Epub version 2.0.


Yet iBooks on Mac OS X (Mavericks) and iOS 7 don't honor the fonts I declared and provided.

Addendum: Opening the epub in Adobe Digital Editions (Mac) shows the correct fonts in use.
