I use Sigil to insert fonts (just trials) and, mainly, audio.

The "Save As eBook" can't embed fonts with non-Latin font names (see the other topic). That is why I have made some trials to insert very special fonts myself.

Audio is my main interest, shared with a friend of mine, for language ...

For the modification of epubs created by Atlantis, I use Sigil which is much more powerful than tweak_epub. In addition to syntax highlighting, it provides book view and code view of html files. To insert files (audio, videos, fonts), it is very easy using the menu.

Problems with non-Latin font-family names

With a non-Latin font-family name, neither the font name nor the characters can be displayed by Atlantis. Also such fonts can't be embedded when the document is save as epub.

I tried, without success, to add such fonts manually into epubs. Since I am not very familiar with the syntax, I may have ...

Thank you Robert.

Actually, I already used that exception option, but did not remember whether it was in Atlantis or Jutoh. Before posting the request, I checked my personal note on Atlantis, and did not find the mention of the exception, so I thought that it was in Jutoh. Sorry.

BTW, do you know ...

Thank you for your answer.

When the font is not so important (for example Arial vs Times New Roman), we can "Save, but don't embed". With very special fonts (for example hieroglyphs), "Save and embed" is necessary.

In order to reduce the epub size, is it possible to have:
- "Save, but don't embed ...

"Embed Characters In Use Only" option

Hi,

When we need characters from a special font, the "Save and embed" option is necessary when saving as ebook. But the problem is the increase of the ebook size.

Is there any chance that Atlantis includes the only characters actually used in the source document, instead of the whole font ...

In addition to Readium, the Firefox add-on EPUBReader is also able to play mp3 within epub, provided that plugins are enabled in the Preferences. Also the table of contents from toc.ncx is displayed.

But you have a “Table Of Contents” button on the Readium toolbar. If you click that button, you get a TOC pane in Readium that reflects the items in the “toc.ncx” file.
Very good! Thank you very much.

I have just updated AWP, thank you Robert.

My chapter headings are already "Heading 1". Adobe Digital Editions builds the navigation panel according to toc.ncx.

However, for some reason (*), I don't test epubs with ADE, but with Readium (a Chrome extension) and a Google Nexus tablet (Android ...

No TOC is generated in the epub

Hi,

I am new to this forum. I am using AWP 1.6.5.12 for a few days now, and have some trouble with the generation of a table of contents in epubs.

According to this video , the presence of chapter headings will automatically generate a TOC in the epub.

Unfortunately, even with a TOC in the source ...
