Strange result (font embedding)

I finished a book in calibre, and I wanted to embed a font since the text contains also other characters than ASCII and their support may vary.

I remember that this is a PITA and somehow it looks to me a question of chance rather than method. I know that somehow I manage this, yet the time outs between these results lays a memory-erase blanket upon my mind - I simply do not remember how I did it.

As always I instruct calibre to embed fonts, and it does. Then I subset it, to save some space.

Usually the problems appear to be linked to the missing style, either Bold or Italic, or the Bold-Italic.

In this case however, only two characters of a word are shown in Italic, both the same é, but not the rest of the word.


In other places, the Italics are not observed at all (it should have been 076.384 Universitate


Has anyone of you ever met this strange situation? And if yes, is there any explanation and a cure?
