When you put the font-family in the body style in CSS, the embedded font is not displayed. This is how some embedded fonts are setup. Kobo ignores this. This is not an ADE issue. ADE works with font-family in the body CSS style. Kobo botched this and it's been reported and they refuse to fix it. So many eBooks do not display the embedded font and there could be an issue with extended characters because of this.
THIS AFFECTS EVERY EINK KOBO OUT THERE!

I'm not posting this question to try and get any argument going for or against or to egg anyone on further. Kobo owner for about 2 months now so I still don't know all the quirks about the various formats.
I usually prefer my own font to anything a publisher embeds so for me that behavior is a big plus (
BIG plus. If it works as you say (this is on epubs only, I seldom use kepubs still), it saves me from having to open the epub in Sigil and strip the fonts and all references to the embedded fonts.
But there's also on option when selecting fonts on my Glo for "Document Default." If you select that, doesn't the book then display the embedded font? I'll have to dig up a book with embedded fonts and try it myself, but it sounds like it should work to display the embedded fonts (if it works correctly that is, maybe it doesn't since as I said, I haven't tested it myself).
