Font discrimination
Hi
1. Discrimination ![]() I use a main embedded font (Linux Libertine O) declared in the body. However for some styles (book index for example) I also use a dedicated smallcap font (Linux Libertine Capitals) declared for some styles. For some reason, the Calibre editor does not accept to subset it and discard it as "unused". This font provide smallcaps and only smallcaps. Quote:

2. Another thing is a constant complaint about mime-type for ttf fonts. What exactly should I write and where to get rid of this warning message? |

1. You need to provide an complete example book
2. The warning about font mimetypes has all the information needed to fix the problem and even a link to fix it automatically |

1 discrimination
I cannot attach even a zip file to MobileRead, so there is the link to essai.epub on Mega https://mega.co.nz/#!dJcGyTzJ!XmL6ug...2rtkGLlfEtEnn8 It includes eight fonts, - four from the main otf family Linux Libertine (only the regular one is used for the body) and - four ttf fonts (only Linux Libertine Capitals is used for two styles - h2 and smcpcorps). If I ask to subset fonts, Calibre discards the ttf one even if it is declared. Normally Calibre should keep and subset one otf (Regular) and one ttf (Capitals) . It should discard the others. 2. Error message This is the message I read many times for many months. Quote:

Like the message says, the correct mimetype for your font file is
application/x-font-truetype not application/x-font-ttf If you want to avoid that errors, make sure that is the media type set in the OPF file for the font. |

And your embedding problems are caused by format(truetype) in in the @font-face rule. Remove that and you should be fine.
