Thanks.

Have been making epubs for iBooks for a year and just found out it wasn't using my embedded fonts...

I was a little surprised that I had to supply the XML myself. Since it's just 169 bytes and never changes (theoretically, you could use it to disallow specified fonts, but why would anyone do that?) I thought it would be included and generated on the fly.

If you ever revisit this, I suggest that option, can allow user supplied as well if you think useful.

Also, a few lines to explain just what the file does and why it's needed might be useful.
