I am surprised nobody's requested that embedded fonts work.

So if you have to have the fonts in the root of the ePub for it to work, then it's broken and badly broken and heads should roll. |

Also, there's no requirement that an eReader support embedded fonts. Looks like no head rolling for you. ![]() |

So if Kobo is going to use ADE, then they need to fix the font embedding bug. Besides, do you want a substandard ADE in your Kobo? All that will do is drive people to other readers and Kobo will not sell well. |

This is the point you're missing. Adobe's own spec sheets say embedded font support is not REQUIRED. One could obviously see there being hardware limitations to font support on a device. I do agree, it would be nice, and in this instance it very well may be a bug as by some reports it may be possible to finesse the kobo into doing embedded fonts. I'm just simply pointing out that they're NOT a requirement of Adobe.

I don't see any limitations on the Kobo as to embedded fonts. The Sony Reader PRS-500 can do it. And so can the PRS-505. I would think the Kobo being newer with a faster processor should be able to do it as well. |

And since the Kobo's version of ADE doe not work properly with embedded fonts, it is a bug that needs to be fixed. |

Your turn to site a reference to this "requirement".
