Your NOOK GlowLight™ may support books from other languages, but only if the foreign language characters are embedded in the font library of the digital file itself or if the file is a PDF file rendered as a graphic image.
Thanks.I quoted the same thing to the technician from B&N chat and he kept saying that it was not the case, the Nook cannot render EPUBs in fonts other than the provided one. PDF maybe but who read PDF on 6" e-ink?
