This is a bit of a strange problem. I know I'm just missing something, but I can't figure it out.

I've been using 'Kirsty' font for a long time with no problems, my CSS entry is {font-family: 'Kirsty'; font-style: italic; } and it embeds as: Embedding font Kirsty-Italic from.... This is all fine, no problems as I said.

Yesterday, I wanted to use the font, but not italic and different size, so I changed to {font-family: 'Kirsty'; font-size: 90%; } and it embeds as: Embedding font KirstyInk-Regular from.... Up until this point, there is no problem. That comes when I tried to read one book on my Kobo Aura, and that section didn't have the right font -- or it just didn't look right, looked like a very large Times Roman or in that type, instead what Kirsty looks like, which is small caps.

I then went back into Editor, and did Check Document. I usually embed fonts as last step before saving and closing document, so this was the first time I did the Check AFTER. I got an entry that says: "WARNING: The CSS font-family name Kirsty does not match the actual font name Kirsty Ink****[fonts.css]"

I do the automatic fix, which changes my CSS entry to 'Kirsty Ink'. On the next book, I changed my entry to 'Kirsty Ink', but that returned an error when I tried to embed, saying: Failed to find fonts for family: Kirsty Ink, not embedding

Just to check, I went to install fonts but when I clicked 'kirsty ink', I get the following:

Spoiler:

If I'm going redo all the 30+ that I've already done, I'd rather get the right fix...or find another font if I can't fix.
