I'm doing some testing with an open source font named Incosolata. It's similar to the trademarked/licensed font Consolas.

When I try to embed the fonts in the book, it embeds Times New Roman just fine, but it gives the following error for Inconsolata:

Failed to find fonts for family: Inconsolata, not embedding.

This font is installed on my computer and is in my FONTS folder (Windows 7). I had changed all fonts to Inconsolata before exporting as an html file (to be used in Calibre).

When I try to add Inconsolata by itself, I get this error message:

Embedding referenced fonts
Failed to find fonts for family: Inconsolata, not embedding
No embeddable fonts found

I read in the Calibre FAQ (below) that it supports OpenType fonts (which Inconsolata is):

manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq.html

Here's the font I'm working with:

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks,

Andy
