When I select the same LexiaDaMa fonts that are on my Sonys, on the Glo the special characters show up as boxes with question marks. Yes, I've named the 4 font styles correctly as Kobo needs. The font itself does work, I know the LexiaDaMa font is in use on the Glo, it is different enough from Caecilia and Malabar to see the difference. And yes, the reader has been restarted (fully powered off and back on) many times since installation of the font.

Using LexiaDaMa on my Sony displays all the special characters I run into.

A recent book I read with a lot of special characters was "The Stonehenge Legacy" by Sam Christer. I just gave up and stuck with Georgia font for that book.

It's definitely not my first choice, but as I said in my instance, it was the only font that displayed all the special characters instead of boxes with question marks. There were maybe 2-3 other stock fonts that displayed the characters, but Georgia was the best out of those options, the other fonts were truly awful.
