Note -- no quotes but I still get the same error from WC3

Property src doesn't exist : url(../Fonts/alkaios-regular.ttf)

I've given up now because the ePub is displaying correctly.

Although, I would be interested to know why it is erroring if anybody knows.
I know what the problem is. If you are using Sigil to submit the CSS for validation, then it will fail because Sigil is using CSS version 2 validation instead of version 3 validation. Version 3 validation will validate @font. Version 2 will not.

Also, the CSS code you last posted is correct. It's the validation that's getting it wrong.
