Displaying Chinese? Characters

I'm working on an ePub that contains a list of sponsors in the back, including two with names including Asian characters not present in the book's standard font. So, I included Droid Sans to display them in, and they now show up correctly in Calibre's editor and viewer. But they don't show up on the Kobo, Nook, or Bookeen readers.

Does anybody have an idea of what could be wrong?

Code:
@font-face {
  font-family: "Droid Sans";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(../Fonts/DroidSans.ttf);
  }

.droid {
  font-family: "Droid Sans" !important;
}

The font is embedded?
It is in the Fonts folder?
The case of the font filename is exactly that in the CSS?

All of these things are so. And I've got another font embedded in other places that is working fine, so I'm particularly puzzled. Maybe somebody could recommend another good Chinese font that I could try in place of Droid Sans?

Does the Droid Sans font include those characters? Calibre's may be use a fallback font.

How large is the font file? My reader at least refuses to use large fonts like Arial Unicode or Code2000. Try subsetting the font.

I think Kobo expects the embedded fonts to follow a naming convention for the src files. Something like:
Droid Sans-Regular; Droid Sans-Italic...

I think this was what was happening. After checking and determining that the characters were not Chinese but Japanese and Korean, I replaced Droid Sans with different fonts and got results.

I assumed Droid Sans was working because the characters displayed but I guess that was just a fallback.

That is what is a little bit tricky. All the viewers, Sigil or Calibre can't be entirely trusted. Even my Sony Library can't be trusted to display for my PRS-300.
