Steps to reproduce:
  1. Read the attached file "utf-8 Tables - PenguinCEO.epub" into the calibre viewer: quite every glyph is correctly rendered, both at page 1 (system fonts) and at page 2 (Garamond embedded font);
  2. Read the attached file "utf-8 Tables - PenguinCEO.epub" into KA1: quite none of the glyphs is rendered, both at page 1 (system fonts) and at page 2 (Garamond embedded font);
  3. Tried setting the KA1 to render with system fonts (for example: "Georgia") and with the editor's font. It doesn't work in any case.

Asked about in this forum, but with no fortune.

Reported at help@kobobooks.com.
As mentioned in the thread you reference, your EB Garmond font supports 9 of the glyphs you are wanting to display. When I tested with code2000, most of the glyphs rendered correctly. Those that didn't have had their definitions changed or added since code2000 was created 20 years ago.

IMHO, it isn't a Kobo bug that the font you used does not support the needed glyphs and the RMSDK renderer does not look for missing glyphs in other fonts.
