Problem embedding font into an ePub - Page 2

In case you have not tried it on your Nook touch, Linux Libertine and Symbola display problem in your subsetted.epub file occurs in ADE 1.7.2. ADE 1.8 preview and Nook STR(1.1 updated) display both fonts fine.

ADE 1.7.2 is using RMSDK 9.1, ADE 1.8 and most of the Nook devices (but not the original) are using RMSDK 9.2 and above. Font rendering was changed drastically between 9.1 and 9.2 (its using a completely separate engine). So it would seem to make sense that this is failing on 9.1 but not on 9.2. You can force RMSDK 9.2 to use the old engine by adding in 'adobe-text-layout: optimizeSpeed;' which may help you with troubleshooting.
