And nearly every time I have seen this, the problem is with a Charis font or one derived from it.

Jackie_w is right, it can happen with any font. There is no embedded font in either of the books I tried, and the font in the screenshots that I just about always use is Roboto Slab, a sideloaded font. I have seen it happen with Lexia Dama as well that I used to use.

It's really not worth it to me to troubleshoot either as I still would prefer epubs over kepubs. But it's definitely not limited to embedded or Charis fonts.
