No need for confusion!
The range of extended characters that ADE supports without the need for an embedded font can be found in tables D.1 and D.3 of
this document, which includes the club/diamond/heart/spade characters.
The iPad natively supports a much wider range of characters, and also includes those characters, there's a thread on it
here.

3) If your answer is "Yes, embed the fonts", then: Using InDesign, how can I embed a True Type font?
|
After clicking 'Export->ePub' and specifying the filename, go to the contents panel of the export options window that comes up and tick Generate CSS, Include Style Definitions and Include Embeddable Fonts. You need to make sure you've applied your styling through paragraph or character styles (but then you should be doing that anyway).
InDesign will only embed fonts if the appropriate permission bits are set, but the majority of fonts allow PDF embedding (which is not the same thing as embedding in an epub) and so will allow this. An increasing number of fonts allow @font-face embedding though, and there are threads about this in the epub forum.

I would appreciate any feedback on this subject. Thanks in advance,

Topics like this are better handled in the general epub forum.

If that's true then Apple is being
very, very naughty, but that sort of arrogance wouldn't surprise me.
