Hi all

I believe that Indesign CC now embeds fonts in a way that both ADE and iBooks can understand. Unfortunately we are not ascending to the Creative Cloud and are stuck with Indesign CS5.5 and CS6. Is there any hacking we can do to get ePUBs from these versions of Indesign to have embedded fonts presented in a way both ADE and iBooks can handle? The whole situation about different ways of encrypting/obfuscating fonts seems ridiculous but sadly predictable.

NB I don't want to get into an argument about whether embedding fonts is the right or wrong thing to do - I only want to use it sparingly for some of our jobs.

Any input gratefully received.

thanks
Iain
