PhD? :-) (Of all the things, JUST went through this with a customer. Insisted that we use smallcaps for PhD, MD, etc. I warned him what would happen if the embedded font wasn't supported and all that, and sho'nuff, it happened and then he made us go back through and "un-small-cap" them, to quote him.)
Of course, we're also on Build 9 of his insistence that we CAN make his tables and equations both a) the relative size, on the page/screen, that they were in his original print PDF pages and b) the same "size," font-wise, as the body text--at the same time. Yup, think about it...
At one point, he insisted that we make images of his equations (which are set between paragraphs, like a blockquote, effectively) by cropping the pdf page full-width--so, making the image of the equation the same width as the original pdf page, including the white-space left and right of the equation, and embed THAT into the eBooks, insisting that then, the equations would always be the "right" size. Of course, they
weren't, which I told him would happen before we did that unnecessary work....
Of all the customers y'all have seen me kvetch about, over the years, this one has been the absolute WORST. It's been exhausting, this past 4-6 weeks, trying, repeatedly, to explain that he doesn't understand the ADE software and thus, he's making us jump through hoops that aren't achieving anything, or to shoot for goals that aren't possible, etc.
ANYWAY...assuming that the devices and software "fail" correctly, then using font-feature settings
should be relatively harmless, but we all know that we don't know the entire list of which devices support that, which don't and all that good stuff.
