Calibe issue with obfuscated fonts.

DNSB · 10-12-2019, 11:25 PM

I've posted to the calibre bug tracker however thought I would mention it here as well.

This comes out of a discussion in the ModifyEpub plugin forum where I was complaining that ModifyEpub was removing a line from an epub's content.opf that was being used in opening Adobe obfuscated fonts. After a bit of back and forth, I did some more checking and found that calibre's metadata update removed the line. Calibre's editor and Polish also remove that line. When opening the file with the calibre editor, there is a popup about an obfuscated font error suggesting an epub to epub conversion should be done.

The line in question is similar to this:

<dc:identifier opf:scheme="UUID">urn:uuid:e6f8cedf-f756-4a24-8f2e-7fa9b76de736</dc:identifier>

Edit: I should have named the thread Calibe issue with obfuscated fonts.

My thanks to Kovid. From the response in the calibre bugtracker, the fix has been committed so the next calibre release will have it.
