Does this whole renaming thing have to be done with embedded fonts as well? Usually I strip all embedded fonts from my epubs, but there are a few with a "handwriting" font that I left in (but I can't remember which books they were, so I can't check). If I need to rename the embedded fonts too, that will be a major pain. Does Kobo respect the standard method of embedding fonts into an individual epub?

Thanks again, very much.
I have one book that uses an embedded handwriting font and it works despite the font name not even being close to the embedded font name. From other books with embedded fonts, it would appear that an embedded font does not have the same need for a name matching the internal font name as a font stored on the Kobo.
