Sylver · 04-25-2011, 12:21 PM

OK, I was trying to edit an existing epub file that has embedded fonts to make it work in the new iBooks on iPad.

The example epub I was given (when unzipped) contains a com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file in the META-INF folder which only contains basically one line as <option name="specified-fonts">true</true>

However when I open this example epub in Sigil, there is no such thing as META-INF, and I do not see that xml file, nor the container.xml file.

When I open my own epub file that already had fonts embedded, I don't see that META-INF folder either. I was told all I have to do to make embedded fonts work is just to add that com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file to my epub's META-INF folder, but as I cannot even see that folder in Sigil, how can I add a new xml to that folder? Any suggestions? BTW, I am using 0.3.4 if it matters. Thanks a lot.
