Question

Zahlen werden beim Export in ePub fehlerhaft ausgegeben

Hallo zusammen,

 

seit einiger Zeit taucht bei mir immer mal wieder der Fehler auf, dass Zahlen nach dem Export in ePub in kryptische Symbole geändert wurden. Leider gibt es keine Regelmäßigkeit anhand der ich das Problem beheben könnte. Es passiert bei verschiedenen Schriften, aber nicht immer. 

 

Ich arbeite mit dem Betriebssystem macOS Monterey Version 12.5 und InDesign Version 17.3. Das Problem tauchte aber auch immer mal wieder bei früheren Versionen auf.

 

Hatte jemand schon mal das Problem? Ideen, worauf ich achten/was ich ausprobieren könnte, damit das nicht mehr vorkommt?

 

Mit der Hoffnung, dass jemand die Lösung oder eine Idee zur Lösung hat. 🙂

@Eugene Tysonl @James Gifford—NitroPress 

Thanks for your answers. Unfortunately I can't exactly explain what the issue was, but it seemed to have something to do with the adjusted Language in the Paragraph Styles. In my case in the Paragraph Styles > Advanced Character Styles the Language was adjusted to Arabic instead of German. As I finally found out it was adjusted wrong and changed it, the problem was solved. So I assume it had something to do with the IDs of the Glyphs or ASCII codes.

The usual cause for this is cross-font mapping, where one font is specified in ID and export and another (of the same name/style, but different font files and source) is used for display.

 

This seems to be most prevalent on Macs, which (I understand) can have several different font repositories, where ID  might draw from one set and your reader/system from another.

 

The best solution is to not specify or embed fonts in EPUB, but let the reader assign standard fonts it has the most control over.

 

It also may depend on what reader you are using. If the problem does not appear in Thorium Reader or Calibre, it is probably an issue with other, more proprietary readers, especially the iBooks reader.

Hi @CatStreff do you have any updates on your issue?

It could be an issue with the font itself as it may not have embed permissions for ePubs. 

Can you let us know what fonts they are and where they are from?
