Because the embed fonts was the default, I was under the impression I had to embed the fonts. When I deselected that option, those errors disappeared.

The date thing is just metadata. All epub have to have a date, and for some reason InDesign doesn't export the date in metadata. In your content.opf file put in:
Here's the weird thing: I change the epub extension to zip, open it up using WinRar, and when I check the opf file there is code to close the date but not to open it: </dc:date> is all that appears.

So in Dreamweaver I changed it to <dc:date>2011-07</dc:date>. But when I rezip the file and change the zip extension to epub, the file no longer opens in ADE. I've also tried editing the code in Notepad, but no difference. If I do the unpack, rezip, change extension back to epub without amending the code, the epub opens again fine in ADE.

And it's that date that is all that now stands between me and a error-free epub. I could bang my head against the wall.
