I’ve converted an InDesign 5.5 file into Sigil successfully. The file validated in Sigil but when I validated the file in Threepress it reported that all the fonts were encrypted. I’ve no idea how this happened or how I can correct this problem. I need to convert the file to Kindle. I’ve converted the file to a .mobi format, but the fonts change all though the text and the alignment of fonts is erratic.
Do you have any idea how I can solve the encryption problems?
Looking forqRD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
Thanks

It appears that you need to export the file without encrypting the fonts
Here’s the entire post. But note that there may be issues if you are working with language fonts.

It appears that with you embed fonts in ID, a file called encryption.xml is added to the META-INF folder inside your epud. You need to delete this.
To do that you:
Make a copy of your EPUB file
change the file extension from .epub to .zip
Unzip the file and remove encryption.xml
rezip the file to an .epub
Also, Kindle does not display different fonts (well, if at all), so you need to keep that in mind. Also, alignments display differently on the Kindle as well.
