I have a custom font that exists entirely in the "Private Use Area" (Symbol Character Set). None of these are mapped to any character except in the Private Use Area.

When I used Calibre to subset the font (embedded in an epub), it deleted the entire font. In point of fact, at least 20 of these characters are used in the book text. Note that in the epub, I entered these characters in decimal: &#xnnnn;.

Is this because the font is mapped only to non-standard characters, or is there something else going on that I should search for?
