How to correctly display characters in ePub for non-standard languages?

Hi all,

I have a PDF as the source file for an ePub in a Ghanaian language and the text that I extract for the ePub does not display the characters/glyphs correctly (see attached screenshots).

Embedding the fonts will only help to display the characters in the ePub once I actually have the text, but how can I fix the source text in the xhtml?

Also in terms of which fonts to embed (if any?), Times seems to work in other ePubs that I have checked for this language, but I would appreciate any advice that you have with regards to fonts. Google Noto is supposed to work for Ghanaian languages as well, but do any of you have any (similar) experience with font problems and how did you fix them?

Thank you in advance!
