If you haven't already done so, you also may want to validate your ePub in Sigil by clicking the green check mark symbol.

It validates fine. The fonts just don't show up on other devices.

Also, just to be on the safe side, download the free MS Font properties extension. This will allow you to right-click your font to find out whether it can be legally embedded and whether it supports the Unicode range(s) that you need.

It's legal to embed, and has the symbols we need. (I think emdash is the most exotic symbol we've dealt with so far.)

You can test whether your reader supports ePubs with embedded fonts with my simple Turkish test file from this thread. (Since ADE won't display all Turkish characters without embedded fonts, this is good test case.)

Thanks! I'll check that out when I'm at home with both ereaders.

In that case, you might have to install additional fonts on your reader.

These are for distribution; "install fonts on the device itself" is not going to be an option. If they won't work on some readers, shrug; I just want them to work on the devices that *do* support embedded fonts in epubs.
I am, so far, staying away from Calibre; I don't need a combination library-and-conversion program, and the library functions are just so much clutter for me. (I'd love a library program for my ebooks. Calibre isn't going to be it; too many problems with multiple versions of the same book for different purposes.)
