So, if you are just offering the EPUB for free with no DRM, you have to obfuscate the font to "protect" it. Otherwise, leave the font alone and let the DRM "protect" it. We all know that neither DRM nor obfuscation keep the font from being copied from the EPUB file, but as long as you do one of those, you have followed the license that Adobe requires. |

I use HighLogic FontCreator, which allows you to paste any clipboard image into the glyph as "background". It's not really part of the glyph, but can be used to help you draw what you want. Once you paste, though, there is a "trace outlines" command that will draw the lines for you. After that, you just export as an OTF file (FontCreator uses its own project file format so that it can keep extra bits like the backgrounds). Paste/trace on 20 glyphs will take about 10 minutes. LTC Fleurons is a good commercial font. Fontspace has a reasonable selection of fleuron fonts, some completely free to use. |
