It is an ebook of two lesbian french writers translated in italian language ("Appunti per un dizionario delle amanti"), but to be honest I saw many export from inDesign from major publishing house here in Italy with Simoncini (or other fonts) subset. I work(ed) in ePub creation: here in Italy the ebook is still the last "porting" of the sacred paper book, and the allocated resources for the ebook version of the book are usually very limited. For example: some weeks ago I bought a comix epub from a italian publisher. A good italian publisher in comix, to be honest. But the ePub was slow, with a lot of problems, so I opened it and check the html and the CSS. I discover the CSS were redundant. I created comix ePub some years ago, manually, and I used more or less 20 lines of CSS code. More or less. Well, this ePub had 94.403 lines of CSS. 94.403. I was speechless.
