Device: Kobo Clara HD
EPUB completely blank (aside from cover)

Hi there,

This is my first post here, so I apologize in advance if I do anything wrong.

I have (very) recently purchased a Kobo Clara HD, mainly because I wanted to be able to side-load EPUBs onto it. I've read 2 books without problems so far, but I'm now facing an annoying issue with the third book.

When I open it, I can see the cover picture normally, but everything else is blank. The interesting part is that I can still access the table of contents and navigate through the chapters, but they're all blank.

I did some research and found this thread:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=270096

which kind of reports the same problem I'm seeing. I did what was suggested (i.e., edited the book with Calibre, checked for errors, corrected as many of them as I could), but the problem still persists. Currently, I'm seeing 3 warnings on Calibre's editor:

WARNING: The CSS font-family name Minion Pro does not match the actual font name Minion****[page_styles1.css]
WARNING: The CSS font-family name Minion Pro does not match the actual font name Minion****[page_styles1.css]
WARNING: The CSS font-family name Minion Pro does not match the actual font name Minion****[page_styles1.css]
I think these should not interfere with the rendering, but I'm not absolutely sure.

Does anyone know what could be causing this, and how I can try to solve the problem? Any advice is welcome; I'm really new to the e-reader scenario.

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: I'm running the latest available stock firmware, without any third-party programs. I can post more information about the book if needed.
