While the ADE rendering engine copes well with all these fonts and manages to display them precisely, Kobo's chokes on them. The only way I found to display my books as intended on Kobo is using PDF (I also publish each book on 6 and 9,7 inches PDF).

Here is [URL="https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2446592&postcount=219"
the link to these books[/URL] (in French).

I still struggle with this and would appreciate any help.
I went through the Monsieur Mars and Madame Venus book and made a few more changes. I also removed the embedded fonts while I did some of the cleanup. Without the small caps font, I tried resizing the font to 75% which while not the prettiest does work but ran into an old issue with ADE when I attempted to use the text-transform:uppercase style so retyping the lower case would not be necessary. With ADE and Reader Mobile on a Kobo, that text-transform does not work. Renaming the book to .kepub.epub and using the ACCESS NetFront renderer, it does work. I've attached copies of both to this message.
