Not that it is the best solution, but couldn't someone put a page telling the reader to enable embedded fonts, or somesuch??
Yes, this is "a" solution that gets recommended sometimes, but as we all know, 99.99% of the readers don't even look at or see the frontmatter. (Especially now since many ereaders instantly open to "Chapter 1".)

... this is actually a great idea:

@media amzn-mobi {

		display: none;
	}
	.japanese {
		display: none;
	}
}
Like you said, the transliteration is already there, so if the asian characters don't appear, you aren't missing much and won't see the "missing character" boxes either.
