From there I need to work out a way to automate the font embedding as much as possible as editing the EPUB is a bit of a pain, especially given that I tend to re-create the EPUB regularly as I work through creating my book.

It wouldn't be too hard to add this feature to BookCreator. The hardest part would be to zip/unzip. I know Windows XP has a built in compression to their files. If they allowed VBA to access this lib it should be possible. I just don't want to get into having to add 3rd party libs to make BookCreator work.
