Hello.

I have written an ebook using LibreOffice and would like to convert it to epub while preserving/embedding fonts.

I have made certain that I selected "embed fonts" in LibreOffice and exported the ODT file into Calibre for conversion. When I prepared the epub for output in Calibre, I made sure to select embed fonts and subset, etc.

However, once Calibre converts my ebook from ODT to epub, and I transfer the epub to my Linux laptop for example, the fonts look generic and plain - completely unformatted. One step above a plain text document. When I 'unzipped' my epub I saw no mention anywhere of fonts.

What can I do to correct this and make sure fonts actually do get embedded in my final epub documents?

Thank you!
