TTF, OTF and SUIT font file formats
Hi,

It is supposed that font files embedded into an EPUB may be in format OTF and/or TTF.

I made an EPUB where the font file was a .suit file. It works fine in ADE, iBooks, and validates with epubchecker as EPUB 3.

So my question is: is it mandatory that font files inside EPUB files have to be in OTF / TTF only?

Thanks

.suit is a Macintosh font suitcase --- an old, deprecated font format.

I doubt it works on ADE on a Windows machine, or that it would validate on a machine which can't make use of Macintosh format fonts.
