I've been working on converting a book to ePub that uses a set of eight colored icons to distinguish certain concepts it's trying to explain. Having had difficulties getting image files to line up right, I've been trying to use an icon font from IcoMoon to represent those eight icons in the ePub.

As far as Calibre's editor is concerned, and Sigil too, this works great! I was able to replace the bullet points with the icons using the :before element and get them to look right.

Unfortunately none of this shows up when I transfer the book to an eReader (either Kobo or Nook) and view the files there.

Does anybody have an idea of what I could do to get the icons visible to readers?
