Damnable Symbols
I've been trying to create an Epub for a science class that (sadly) has to use a handful of mathematical type symbols. Just another font you say.
I did up the main file in InDesign, embedded the fonts when exporting to epub. Then went to clean up the file in sigil. still looks OK in Sigil, but when I open the saved file in something else the symbol fonts are not applied.
in the template I can see :
@font-face {
font-family : Symbol;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
src : url("../Fonts/SymbolMT.otf");
and :
span.char-style-override-10 {
font-family : Symbol, sans-serif;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
and I can see style 10 is set to the symbols in the text.
InDesign did not, however, mention it in content.opf so I added:
<item href="Fonts/SymbolMT.otf" id="SymbolMT.otf" media-type="application/x-font-otf" />
So as Sigil can read the font on MY computer, but then can;t when I open the epub in another program I figure I am pointing tot he wrong place, or am trying to write on top of an ancient indian burial ground.
