你好 oxen,
Nice to see you again here! oxen, I already pointed out, in post # 43, 45 and 47 my problem with ES and of course things have not changed because I didn't try the last update, simply because I have a bunch of apps to fulfill my goals with epub. So please, don't take it to personal, I was not bashing your app and this is not a negative judgment about the new version of ES. If I can find a solution for .NET, I'll give a fresh start to ES. BTW are you working to a way to add more files format, maybe odt? Have a nice day oxen! |

My device runs under Windows 7, 32 bit. After having opened the rar files, it's not possible to work the setup.exe with the report: "Unable to locate application file 'EpubSTAR.msi'." When I have installed it using the EPubStar.msi, opening is impossible with the report: Value cannot be Null - Parameter name: input. It's only possible to open sort of frame from a "EPubStar lite" version. I Have tried what Oxen recommended, but without success. I'd really like to work with the programm; it's just what I have been looking for. Is there no chance to get it right?

Thank you for your reply. No I haven't installed Word 2003 or higher. I'm still using Word 2002 because it works for everything I need to do (up to this point). This is most likely the reason epubstar won't work for me. I will keep following this thread to see if there are further developments and reasons for me to spend $$$ to upgrade Word 2003. However, I must say that I will never go to a version of Word (or Office) that uses the "ribbon"! I've tried it on other people's PCs, and I can't stand using it or even the thought of living with that monstrosity. Frank D |

In future releases, I will consider support odt format. Now I'm busy with the development of version 3.0, very sorry for the delayed response. |

Interestingly, EpubSTAR work properly when I used Word 97. I guess that some problem in the word document causes EpubSTAR to not work. If possible, sent me the document to try. |

Perhaps there's a compatibility problem between EpubSTAR and German windows system. I have solved this problem in version 3.0. |

These are all external fonts, not embedded fonts. It's a new feature of EPUB3 to support embedded fonts. Although I don't like embedded fonts too. EPUB3 supports system fonts, intrinsic fonts, user fonts and embedded fonts, the first three of which are non-embedded fonts (external fonts). Oxen Fonts Style 3.0's new multiple fonts supporting are all intrinsic or user fonts. Last edited by oxen; 10-29-2013 at 03:20 AM. |

ePub 2 also supports accessing fronts from outside of the ePub. But the way to do it is rather device specific.

Epub 2 also supports embedded fonts so there is nothing here that is ePub 3 specific.

EPUB3 explicitly request Reading System must support embedded fonts.
EPUB2 not explicitly required, it may be the font's copyright issues. But in fact, many EPUB2 Reading System supports embedded fonts. |

Sorry, still no fun. Installation completed, but running ends up with an empty GUI (i. e. some lines where there should obviously be some text or command fields). Lamentable!
