Hi, my name is Lester and I currently work for a London based book publishers and the task of converting the companies catalogue of books to various ebook formats has been given to me to do. I've been a Mac operator for the last 15 years, but only in the last 2-3 years I've got involved in ebooks.

I've recently discovered a big problem for us with our epub files with the italic fonts not displaying and only displaying the roman/regular version of that font. I don't think its down a particular font, as its happening to quite a few fonts. I'm using Indesign CS3 and CS5 to generate the epub files from. I've had a search around on Google and on here, but so far I haven't found a quick solution. The files I'm working on have already been printed at a printers, so the files I have are already laid out and formatted. Has anyone heard of this problem and would anyone have a possible solution?
