These are definitely embedded fonts, but I'm not even sure that they are "hinted" and/or anti-aliased. In other words, the same font at the same resolution would probably look better in ePub using its embedded ttf font capability. Has anyone come across an example of a TOPAZ ebook available in a different format elsewhere? The most likely formats would be PDF or ePub.
