How to fix InDesign CC 2014 words overlapping in exported fixed layout ePub?

Hello, I'm having trouble with exporting a fixed-layout ePub from InDesign CC 2014.2 on Windows 8.1. It is supposed to be pixel perfect, but when I export my document and load it up in Adobe Digital Editions, anything other than regular paragraph text ends up overlapping and is not usable for a final product. I'm using Adobe fonts from TypeKit under the Desktop License, but this problem happens with other non-Adobe fonts as well. I have Paragraph Styles applied to headers and body text throughout my book. I downloaded the Fixed-Layout ePub Veils example and it does the same thing on Century Gothic and others. Please help, I need to solve this quick! Here are some samples:

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum.

Thanks, Steve. The issue seems to be related specifically to Adobe Digital Editions on Windows. The application is not loading the embedded fonts and therefore the fixed word alignment seems to be off when it replaces the fonts with the default system fonts. I have no idea why it's not loading the fonts, but it seems like a bug with ADE for Windows. Where do we report bugs for Adobe products?

ADE on Windows isn't quite there yet, but it's gotten better. Check in Readium for Chrome.

You can report bugs here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form but I'm not sure if ADE is there.
