One of my gripes (yes I know I have many) is the support or lack there of for the common fractions. It's challenging to read a cook book without them present, so I took the test eBook and added 9 fractions to it; ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞

With my Touch and 2.4.0 I see the following:
Amasis: ¼ ½ ¾
Avenir: ¼ ½ ¾
Caecilia: ¼ ½ ¾
Georgia: ⅛ ¼ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ¾ ⅞
Gill Sans: ¼ ½ ¾
Kobo Nickel: ¼ ½ ¾
Malabar: ¼ ½ ¾
Rockwell: ¼ ½ ¾
Gothic MB101: ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞
Ryumin: ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞
Open Dyslexic: ¼ ½ ¾

Side Loaded:
Amaranth: ¼ ½ ¾ -- Missing characters replaced by spaces
Charis Sil SmCp Modified: ⅛ ¼ ⅓ ⅜ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞
LexiaD DaMa: ¼ ½ ¾ -- Missing characters replaced by spaces

So the only stock fonts with full support are Gothic MB101 and Ryumin.

Worse is the fact that some of the side loaded fonts don't include an easily seen character to say "I can't display that".
