Why does embedding Adobe fonts in EPUB cause all text to display as oblique?

I have been having this problem for a while now to various degrees, and I stopped using InDesign to build and export EPUB files for a long time because of it. Lately I have decided to try reintroducing InDesign into my EPUB workflow. However, I have found that whenever I try to export an EPUB 2 file from InDesign CC 2014.1 while embedding Adobe fonts, all the text in the EPUB displays as oblique when I open the resulting file in Sigil or Calibre. Removing and then re-adding the fonts with no obfuscation does not correct the issue. Not embedding the fonts during export -- or removing them from the EPUB entirely -- eliminates the display problem, but obviously I can't expect people to have these fonts installed on their computers.
I do believe most Adobe font licenses allow for embedding, so I don't think this is a security issue. For the sake of this discussion the issue I am having is with Arno Pro OTF (Regular, Italic, Bold).
I can't find anything about this on the web. Can anyone help me with this issue, or has anyone else experienced this at least?
Thanks!
Allen

Here's another piece of information to add to the puzzle. The first screenshot is from Calibre on an PC with Windows 8.1 (using Google Chrome as default search engine). The second is from Calibre on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1 (using Safari 8.0.2 as default search engine). Both with the same ePub file created on CC2014 on the Mac using Arno Pro for the Latin text, Adobe Song for Chinese, and Deja Vu Sans for the Hexagram

    Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem ,I do not know why Apple is so Popular

    but Adobe is, in fact, continuing to update Flash for Android.
    Only essential bug and security fixes. No new feature updates have been released for 2 years.
    Of course we have those who wish fervently that the lack of Flash supprt will damage Apple severely and obsess about it all the time.
    I thought they'd realised it was a lost cause ages ago... they mostly seem to have disappeared from this forum, at least...

  • Embedding Adobe fonts in a folio: any issues?

    Adobe's font licensing terms/faq don't seem to address embedding Adobe fonts in a DPS folio.
    I'm assuming that folio-embedding terms will be the same as PDFs -- that is, fonts that are okay for print and preview embedding in a PDF are okay for folios, too.
    Is there an official policy for folio embedding? Anyone have this issue come up already?
    Thanks!

    There's actually two issues here that need attention. If you're just outputting to default DPS folios then the pages become for all intents and purposes images so there's no real font-related issues. The more difficult area is if you're embedding your own html files that use Adobe fonts. I'd imagine things get more coplicated here.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

    I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
    However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
    I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
    Any help is appreciated
    ....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.
    Regards,
    Luisa

     Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance.  I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool.  I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue  (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa

    When I down load statements from some websites, the pdf freezes and I get a message that the website is not responding and that windows is checking for a solution for this problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I really like the Adobe Reader, but I need answers on why this is happening and how to fix it. AN AUTOMATIC UPDATE FROM 08/23/11 DOESN’T CUT IT!!

  • Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?

    Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?  I've updated everything, and there are no other issues.  It is OS X and Audition CS6.  When I'm mixing a track, it will just shut down with a crash notice.  Very frustrating.

    Hi,
    What is the crash notice you receive?  OS X is very good about keeping extensive, detailed crash logs.  If you launch Applications > Utilities > Console.app  and open the "User Diagnostic Reports" group on the left, can you drag the most recent Audition crash report into an e-mail to [email protected] ?  The contents of that file should make it more clear to us why Audiiton or the OS thinks a crash is happening and will help focus troubleshooting.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out?

    Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out at 64 percent on Windows XP?
    I am currently running version 9.5.2.
    Does anyone have a solution please.

    Hi,
    This "timeout at 64%" issue has been reported more than a few times  here.
    You can try direct download from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If you can dedicate some time and help to investigate the issue, here is what I would ask:
    Before trying the link I have provided, can you please enable verbose MSI logging and try to install Reader the way you did originally - I assume that you used Adobe.com, right?
    If it fails again at 64%, please find the latest MSIxxxxx.log file in the Temp folder and send it to me.
    To enable Windows Installer logging

    ...open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
