As far as I can tell, the Yoga Sutras epub contains Sanskrit scripts as images rather than (Unicode) characters. For example, every Sanskrit letter displayed in the chapter "Guide to Sanskrit Pronunciation" is an image. Therefore, I don't think the problem is a font problem per se. It seems to be a Kobo Aura problem.

I don't have a Kobo Aura, but I doubt it should fail to display embedded image files in EPUB files by default. Perhaps it was hacked incorrectly? Would restoring it to factory settings help?

Perhaps posting this problem to the Kobo Reader may help, as you posted in the past.

I tried converting it into epub and ticking the box "Embed all fonts" but it doesn't work.
