Some issues are caused by embedded fonts, some are caused by sideloaded fonts but the majority (in my opinion) are caused by css style code that is poorly written. Some of those code issues are caused by the differences between the renderers used on various devices -- it works on a Sony but not on a Nook or a Kobo type of problem. Kobo suffers here because they are supporting two renderers. The Adobe Reader Mobile seems to be close factory stock as most of the issues that show up using ADE on my computer are also issues on my Kobo reader. As to the state of the ACCESS NetFront BookReader, I haven't seen it elsewhere so it's hard to comment on just what changes other than adding the DRM code have been made by/for Kobo.
