If you've already embedded fonts in the epub2, why would you think you needed to run that again? (If you did, it will add a duplicate of the font definitions each time.) And if you knew this line was necessary, you can just paste it in yourself. It's another thing that is simple to do but took me years to discover. I gave epubs to people to read on iPhones ands iPads, unaware that they were not seeing the fonts I had embedded till they sent me a screenshot to explain another issue.
Anyway, why not just add
<meta property="ibooks:specified-fonts">true</meta> to
every epub3 created? I can't think of a reason not to do that. If you have embedded fonts, you want them to work everywhere, obviously. Otherwise, it does nothing.
And on the "linear" tag:
currently the plugin creates the nav file and puts this in the OPF:
<itemref idref="navid"/>
if you don't want to complicate the plugin with options, make that
<itemref idref="navid" linear="yes"/>
which has the same effect, as it's the default, but makes it a bit more obvious what to change if you want to hide the nav page.
