I am also curious to know how many Kobo users actually have ePubs with embedded fonts?
The problem is that if you have an ePub with embedded fonts and the embedded fonts are not displaying, you may never actually know it's not working because you will get whatever the set default font is. A lot of publishers are embedding Charis as a replacement for the default ADE font because it looks better and gives true italics and true bold.

Do you have any of Stieg Larsson eBooks? They do have embedded fonts and you could have a go at seeing if it works for you.

The eBooks I tried out are fine. They work in ADE under Windows, in the Sony Reader PRS-650 and with Bluefire on the iPad. So given that they work in other ADE implementations, I'd say it's either an issue with the Kobo's (both wifi and not) or it's an issue with the demo Kobo's on display at Borders.
