Font issue

I have 3 books created with InDesign. I'm using fonts that I purchased years ago, which I have no issue with anywhere else. (Berkeley) When I try to export to an epub, I get a font error. If I convert all text to outlines, my epub shows boxes around each line of type. HELP!

I think Berkeley is a TTF, which will not work. You could purchase the web version and add it via css@font rule. However user can still change the font. Last, you maybe have to pay licensing for web fonts per user... go with adobe type kit is my suggestion for getting what you want and cost effective.

 

hope this helps

Assuming this is a Reflowable ePub, why should you feel it so important to have a particular font, when the reader can change the font to another they prefer anyway?

    What format are the fonts? Anything other than opentype probably won't work.
