It really goes in the META-INF folder (Sigil handles a prexisting com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file by showing it as being in the MISC folder), but you can't add files to the META-INF folder with the gui (manually adding it to the MISC folder will never work). |
Hell, we added ours manually for a few years. It worked okay. Not IN Sigil, of course; make the book, unzip, add, zip, etc.

Luckily there's an output plugin that can convert your EPUB2s to EPUB3s (though this is the first I've heard that embedded fonts will only work in iBooks with EPUB3s).

You
don't. We've embedded fonts for dogs' years, in eBook terms, and they have worked fine. Hell, kids, mostly, we're
STILL not making ePUB3, except when we do FXL, for iBooks, and unless we've exploded into a big fiery ball and someone forgot to tell me (yeah, right, like THAT would ever happen...) our fonts are trucking along quite happily in ePUB2 on Apple's iBooks store.
We have embedded good fonts, bad fonts (repeat after me: The customer is ALWAYS right...); well-known foundry fonts, obscure fonts, and fonts that I never thought would work. (Viking runestones, anyone?). They all work cheerfully on iBooks. ePUB 3 is
simply not a requirement, or...no.
It's just not. AFAI can recall, even the xml file requirement was dropped...2 years ago?
Offered FWIW. (And less than that, even...)
