I'm still debating what to do about that "appendix" to this epub (which is what that late-Middle English text is -- it's not the main text), and I suppose I could do two versions, i.e. one with that "olde" text with the embedded fonts just for ibooks, and another with images of those pages for other platforms. Or, of course, I could just bite the bullet and trash the fonty version and just do it with images. I'm not sure yet...
In any case, though, with regard to the main text, I've discovered another font issue -- and also a full-page image issue -- and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong! I hope someone can help.
I've included here the opening pages of the main/whole epub (minus the table of contents, which prevented it from validating because of its references to non-existing pages). On the iPad, in iBooks, the fonts embed just fine -- no problems! But if I open it in Marvin then the embedded fonts don't show up. My understanding is that Marvin can display embedded fonts, so why aren't mine showing up?
ALSO, on another note, when I view this in iBooks in two-page landscape orientation, everything comes out just fine, but if I rotate into portrait orientation I end up with an extra blank page after every single full-page image.
I've scoured the forums here -- and searched elsewhere on the 'net, too -- and I've tried to incorporate any/all suggestions that people have made (like changing the dimensions to 99% instead of 100%), but I just can't figure out why on earth I'm getting those extra blank pages (only in portrait orientation).
Can anyone help? Thanks sooooo much, once again!
