Red face Unicode works fine without embedding

OK, scrub that: I've now found another Japan-based website that demonstrates the only change needed is adding xml:lang="ja" after xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" -- then the Japanese characters (and even macrons) do display in ADE.

Embedding therefore seems irrelevant (although I have to say I've not tested it in ADE on a system with no Unicode fonts). It's not a perfect solution yet, though, as the font for that whole chapter has now changed to an awful Japanese typeface, completely ignoring what is specified in the CSS: indeed, ADE appears to ignore my CSS entirely. That probably calls for a separate thread though. Thanks to all who assisted.
