Usually I'm the one who can shout in a loud and confident voice "Man, am I ever doing this wrong!" So, here goes. WinXPsp3, calibre uninstalled and reinstalled at 7.1, upgraded yesterday to 7.2.
Attached: Lots of things:
MinionMyriad-source.zip - actual source before calibre 7.2, created in Word 2007, cleaned up in Dreamweaver cs4 and converted to xhtml. Word quickstyles match (close enough, anyway) to the styles.css. Xhtml and css are close to validating - couple lines here and there about colors in hyperlinks and it's there.
Clipboard01.jpg - a picture in firefox showing the top of that source with the ligatures properly in the correct fonts, Minion Pro and MyriadPro-BlackSemiExt.
Basic Set - Brewt Himself.zip - the source zip file created by calibre.
MyriadMinion3_plugin.zip - calibre plugin that embeds fonts in epubs, based on source by Paul Tomashevskyi posted in the sticky
"How to Embed Fonts After Calibre" on this forum. Fonts sourced out of C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\fonts\MinionMyriad
fontencrypt.zip - font encryption python script written by 'Paul Durrant' posted in the thread "
fontencrypt.py - Add Adobe encryption to fonts in ePub" in this forum. I am running it separately; haven't succeeded in making it a plugin yet.
BasicSet.epub - epub created by calibre with embedded fonts embeddeed by above plugin and encrypted by above python script. [Keep ligatures] checked in conversion. Results below are the same before and after encryption.
So. I can see the fonts embedded with ligatures in ADE, minion.
I don't see the ligatures, but it looks like the headline font in ade.
I can see the ligatures in Calibre viewer, minion, but only if I set the default font to minion.
I don't see the ligatures in calibre nor the correct font (myriad) in the headlines, even if I default the sans font to myriad.
No overriding css in viewer.
I see neither the ligatures nor the fonts in B&N/pc.
So. Obviously, I'm doing things, lots of things, wrong because it almost works, but only sometimes. Have at me.
