Hello.
Perhaps someone here has had a similar issue. I am exporting to ePub from Indesign CS4. When I open the file in Sigil the text is invisible in Book View. The text is there in the code, and the images (there are two) are visible but I am unable to see the text in Book Biew.
I've tried various changes in the CSS: using the hex value and "black" to replace the rgb values that Indesign defaulted to.
I've changed the fonts to basic serif instead of New Times Roman and I've tried other font families. And when viewed with an ebook reader (other than Sigil) they are visible (see image attachment).
Could this be a platform issue? I'm running Mac/Intel Snow Leopard 10.6.5.
This has been an issue for me for 2 months now and i keep coming back to it and trying different things. This is an update of a client's book (see attachment) that gave me no problem when using Sigil to edit last spring, but when i updated to the latest version of Sigil in September this is what is happening.
I've also tried using different fonts prior to exporting from InDesign. This current version uses Times New Roman. I was using Adobe Garamond originally (which InDesign would warn me that it wasn't embedding) and with that font the italics would show up in Sigil's Book View but the regular text would disappear. When trying out different things with the Adobe Garamond I found that in the CSS if i substituted a generic serif instead of specifiying a font family the regular text would appear but the italics would disappear. But even this doesn't work with the Times New Roman (which i got no warning about not embedding).
I'm stumped. If anyone has an idea i'm all ears. It's probably something stupid
but at this point i can't see it.
