My eBook project has reached a state of extreme polish thanks mainly to
Calibre,
BBEdit and not least the heroic contributors to this thread. Everything looks great in Kindle Previewer, the Kindle App and in iBooks. My only remaining hurdles pertain to font obfuscation and font licensing.
- Is font obfuscation even needed for KDP given that the Kindle Previewer compiles the ePub into an encrypted Mobi file?
- Is font obfuscation automatic in Calibre?
- If not, how and where in the production pipeline should I do this (before or after Calibre)?
- Once a font has been obfuscated or encrypted, do I still need to license it before using it in a published eBook, or does the license I acquired for personal use suffice?
- If I go to the foundry and buy the font outright, do I still need to obfuscate it?
I'm posting this here because I couldn't find a suitable font-related thread and because I've gotten so many great replies in this thread to my earlier questions.
Thanks in advance!
Dave
