@Toxaris:
Adding the quotes makes no difference. The CSS validator was also quite happy with the css without quotes. Did you mean equation instead of quotation?
@mmat1:
I tried another font, Lucida Bright Math Symbol. It also fails to work. I will continue to look at this. I need to know what fonts work and why some don't.
I generated a svg file from the infinity glyph -- create a png with gimp and the use autotrace to create a svg file. That worked. I think Inkscape would also create a svg but I couln't quite figure out how to do it. Autotrace worked on the first try.
Does a graphic scale when the user changes the font size? The symbol is used as an ornament at the start of every scene as the first character of a paragraph. If the size of the font is changed, the symbol has to change in the same proportion. I also have no clue about using svg images. Is there a comprehensive tutorial somewhere?
The whole business of embedding fonts seems to be very hit and miss. I lifted the Charis font-face section from the css of a publication and pasted it into another epub I'm working on. I ended up with the text in bold face but the italics in normal weight. I then replaced the font with DejaVu and all was well. If anyone knows where I can find out more, I'd love to hear about it.
