Calibre edit book does not embed referenced font

[dlibke]

I am using windows 7 calibre 2.71 edit book app. It displays the css referenced font family, installs the font in ...AppData\Roaming\calibre\fonts, but does not embed the font set with this message: 'Embedding referenced fonts
Failed to find fonts for family: Artisan, not embedding
No embeddable fonts found'. The font information says that it is embeddable.

The font references are the following:
.calibre3 {
font-family: Artisan;
font-size: 2em;
font-style: normal;
text-align: center;
.calibre4 {
font-family: Artisan;
font-size: 1em;
font-style: normal;
}

What am I missing/not doing?

The font family you specify has to match exactly the font family in the font files. And the font has to be in either ttf or otf format.

According to the Mac Font Manager's font info for Artisan.oft, the Postscript name is Artisan, the full name is Artisan Regular, and the Family is Artisan, which matches exactly the specified font family. The Calibre Manage Fonts app found the referenced font family, the app's '+ Install Fonts' button found the font-containing file in \Downloads\Artisan-Display-Typeface folder, and it copied Artisan.otf to \AppData\Roaming\calibre\fonts. Now, the question is 'Why then in the same app does the 'Embed All Fonts' button throw a 'cannot find file' error and the 'Install Fonts' button does not?

Umm I have no idea what you are saying. There is no question of Install Fonts finding amything, since you provide it with a file.

So change the font family to "Artisan Regular"

What I am saying is that from what you said in your first reply:

I verified that it is in fact true in my Styles0001.css file and the font file using Apple's Font Book That is the font family I specified in the css class is an exact match to the font family in the font file, which is in the calibre font folder.

As you suggested, I changed the css font family to 'Artisan Regular', which changed the font family listing in the manage fonts app to 'Artisan Regular'. Clicking on the 'Embed All Fonts' button Embedding referenced fonts
produced following error:
"Failed to find fonts for family: Artisan Regular, not embedding
No embeddable fonts found"

My license for the font provides the following: Use This Font For:
Commercial Use

Where does 'Embed All Fonts' look for font files?

I'm guessing:
1. You're missing a curly brace,
2. remove font-style: normal.

And let me piggy-back on this embedded font thread, I found that the generated font.css is not foolproof for my ADE based reader sw, I have to manually add font-style: normal, font-weight: normal to other font variant definitions to have bold-italic work.

You said you Installed the fonts in a previous post. Which means it does not matter where else embed fonts looks, since it always looks in the calibre installed fonts folder.

In order to help you any more, I am going to need to see the ebook file and the font files in question.

@eMole: normal is the default value for those properties. There should be no need to specify them, anywhere, except in cascading rules that are overriding a rule from higher up in the hierarchy. They certainly dont need to be specified in @font-face rules. On my machine, @font-face rules seem to work fine on ADE (1.7) without those properties.

I'm sure calibre is right about normal values. It's my reader app that is goofy.

AFAIK there is no such thing as 'Stock ADE' (RMSDK)

Everyone that licenses it, adjusts it to taste
RM (reader mobile) SDK (software development kit)

Astak made 5 or 6 releases of their firmware for the EZReader trying to please more people. Others that used the same hardware, had their versions.
