That's a good idea to have the eBook open at the place that tells readers to turn in the fonts. I'm not 100% sure, but you might also have to do with with Kobo Readers. I'm not sure yet until I get one in November.

Otherwise, it's an uphill battle. I had someone (this was pretty riotous, in hindsight), belligerently tell me on another "forum" that I was full of it, we didn't embed fonts, yadda-yadda, (this is another "professional bookmaker," mind you, who learned 90% of what he knows from me, the irony of which is not lost upon me), and so on and so forth. Right up to the point I realized that this moron didn't know to turn on publisher fonts. AHEM.

Gotta love the idiots who think they know it all and that one piece of information they don't know is what screws them up big time.

Just for the sake of pointing out the reality of using fonts: attached find a book that was done in FF, for iBooks, and then in reflowable for other vendors. With fonts. (Museum client). Just for fun. :-)

Very nice! iBooks can have some very nice looking eBooks if you don't mind that it won't look the same in any other program. The non-iBooks versions are well done too considering you cannot get the exact same look.
