Oct 28, 2013 1:06 PM in response to john3cdpby Carlos Burges,Hi:
Same problem here and restore iBooks Author 2.0 has no effects. Also, the image widget dont show properly the titles of images. iBooks Author 2.1 is a mess.
I made a strong complain at iBooks Author's feedback. I'm losing money with several titles stopped and some books updates totally crippled.

Oct 28, 2013 1:30 PM in response to Carlos Burgesby MaciPad,All files opened in iBA 2.1 will be corrupt. 2.0 doesn't fix them. You must use backup files from before 2.1.
I have many USB sticks with different versions of the files plus Time Machine on 3 extra harddrives.

Oct 28, 2013 4:08 PM in response to john3cdpby UC Riverside,I just got that same problem as I copied the file on a first generation iPad. Interestingly, it works perfectly on my iPad Gen2!!!
This file is based on a template I used before and had no problems with any embedded font in both of the iPads. Big mess if I need to go now and change all fonts for my iBook File... argggggg
Never mind, it doesn't work on either one. Big PooPoo.

Oct 28, 2013 4:15 PM in response to john3cdpby UC Riverside,It gets worst!!!. I opened all the iBook authors I've created and downloaded from the app store. They looked perfectly before but now all fonts are messed up. This means the problem is with the new iOS for the iPad?!!!
I just upgraded this morning.
I need to check those same books in my older iPad once I can get my hands on it. Will keep you posted.

Oct 29, 2013 12:46 AM in response to john3cdpby Carlos Burges,This morning iBooks Author has been updated. The version has not been changed (still 2.1) but looks like the embedding problem (only this) has been fixed. Can someone confirm, please? Thank you

Oct 29, 2013 5:28 AM in response to john3cdpby Carlos Burges,Looks like that ony works for one time. Next preview of the book returns to use Helvetica instead of custom fonts. What a mess.

Oct 29, 2013 6:41 AM in response to lucasnmfby dbh-TalkingNewMedia,I think it is fair to say that an update is coming soon. Apple is aware of the issues. I would hold off rebuilding your eBooks with 2.0 until the update is released. (I rebuilt one book because it was nearly done anyways and hadn't been touched by iBA 2.1, but am holding off on the other.)
If you don't mind a bit of self-promotion, I should point out that this is the kind of topic that is reported on regularly on TNM as the site is meant for publishers (as opposed to those just interested in tech).
Also, any update I'm sure will be labeled 2.1.1 - or something like that.

Oct 30, 2013 1:03 AM in response to john3cdpby Carlos Burges,This is a small guide to recover a book poisoned by iBooks Author 2.1
- Retrieve one copy of IBooks Author 2.0 from Time Machine. Delete iBooks Author 2.1.
- Open a book poisoned by iBooks Author 2.1
- Open your custom template or a new document in iBooks Author 2.0
- From the sidebar, copy and paste the chapters from the poisoned document to the new document. You have to do it one by one.
- Copy and paste the cover
- You'll have to manually rebuild the glossary
- You will, also, to re-enter the book information tab in the Document Inspector.
- Reviews the book. Sync with your iPad to make sure everything is OK.
The whole process should take a few minutes.
