is there a way to emulate ibook rendering on a pc or do you have to get all appled-up ? |
Hey, Cyb!
Always good to gab with you, no matter the excuse. Yes, I send my clients out to license the fonts, no exceptions. We deal in IP here all day, so we don't allow any type of copyright infringement--I just can't. And distributing the actual font file in an ePUB is clearly "redistribution," unlike using it in a PDF for, say, Createspace. So we tell them to either go forth and procure the license, OR, to go to dafont, fontsquirrel, etc., to obtain (or select) a similar font, which we use under that license. We embed the entire font in the ePUB, or, at least, whatever faces we need.
Does that help?
