In Adobe Digital Editions, however, they rigidly stayed as "?" marks. I note some similar comments in the
ThreePress blog. But even on a
Japanese website they demonstrate ADE failing to display Japanese ePubs. I wonder if changing the TTF to OTF would make any difference... Yet another avenue to explore.
Microsoft's Expression Studio (trial) also apparently has the facility to subset a font. I'm not too confident it will work if Squirrel failed, but the options are running out... Perhaps I ought to give up on ePub for now and try Kindle instead.
