affa · 04-20-2011, 03:02 AM

I'm nearly finished my first epub and it's shaping up great, but I just did a validation on it and I'm getting
'This resource is reachable but not present...' errors for the fonts.

Now, I went from Indesign CS4 to EPUB, and I intentionally did NOT embed fonts and would like to rely on each readers generic fonts.

My question is simple -- I have a css that's referencing fonts that aren't embedded. What do I do to remedy this? (I don't know css, so I need a dumbed down yet technical answer).

I've found many great resources on how to embed fonts into an Epub... but haven't found a tutorial (yet) on how NOT to. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
