I'm working on this book. It's UTF8 encoded so it _should_ output right. ADE seems to have trouble with some characters. I only need latin support but latin for all European languages not just Latin 1 or 2. And that seems to call for font embeding. From what I have read around, especially on Mobileread, opentype is the EPUB2 standard font. But I don't seem to find otf files covering all the diacritics I need. On the other hand, ttf is readily available with Dejavu or SIL fonts. And from what I gather they are free to attach too. What can I do? Is there a free tool to do this right as bad conversion might damage the quality.
