Embedded font files

dicknskip · 12-13-2015, 03:15 PM

@font-face {
font-family: "X";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(../Fonts/X.ttf);
}

...is in my css file. I also have class entries for the use of the font. I have tried adding the font files to an ePub by "file -> new file" and by the "embed fonts" option. I've checked the spelling of the file names. When I do a check run I get:

'../Fonts/X.ttf' does not exist. [OEBPS/Styles/stylesheet.css]

...for every font file. The font files are in the "File Browser" under the "Fonts" sub-heading. I have tried "../Fonts..." and "../fonts..." I still get the error message. The fonts do work in the final epub. What am I missing or do I just need to ignore this?

Read the message carefully.
does it say something about "Internal name" ?

the font file contains its Font name (inside)
Calibre is just warning you that some nit-picking validation or devices barf if every tiny bit does not match.
If it works on your device, you can ignore (if the book is not bound for other distribution. If it is: Jump thru the naming hoops as needed)

Thanks - I was suspicious of that issue. I did try to use the "family name" that "Font Book" displays under the font info. So I'll just ignore it.
