Here are some pointers based on my setup which uses the embedded font approach (i.e. the font files are included in each converted epub, rather than stored once on the Nook):

- I keep my 4 font (MinionPro) files (MinionPro-Bold.otf, MinionPro-BoldItalic.otf, MinionPro-Italic.otf, MinionPro-Regular.otf) in a folder (named minionpro) in C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\embeddedfonts -- i.e. complete path is "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\embeddedfonts\minionpro"

- Info for the "Customizing the plug in" menu (our Font Plug In is under "File type plug-ins"):

Font source: Use embedded font
Font name: MinionPro (note: this is the common-part of the font files' name without the font-type suffixes)
Font Extension: otf (note: this is file extension suffix of the font files)
Embedded Font Path: C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\embeddedfonts

All other fields are left with their default values.

Hope the above help.
