The embedded fonts worked in all cases. The only place they failed to work was with Kobo Readers both original and wifi.

Jon, I did come accross what you've described. I was looking at something different when I noticed two books I had purchased for my daughter. They were 1.5 and just over 2megs. Seeing as they were relative short books, I took it that they had embedded fonts in them, and I was correct. I downloaded and stripped them and sure enough, the fonts showed up in sigil, calibre and ADE, but not on the kobo.
looking at the CSS file, the fonts were define, but the only style that was defined using them was "body". All the other styles entries were set to just make mods to that font when needed. The way it looks, the kobo doesn't like it when the the main body holds the style (doesn't see it), and is looking at each individual style entry to grab whatever font it wants to use instead. Not sure why ADE would pick up the body and not the KOBO, but it could be a "bug" or could have been a consious decision. I'm going to play with it a bit more this week to see if there's something else other than.
cheers!
