Which probably means the epub-to-epub conversion sorted out the font and obfuscation problem. And the book on the Kindle is not that relevant as Kindles do not support epubs and you had to do a conversion to a supported format.

From the error you posted, and looking at the calibre code, I know roughly what is wrong. How different apps/functions handle that is different. For example, I think you get a similar error from the calibre editor, but, I think the calibre viewer will show it. But, maybe it won't use the embedded font. Same goes for if you put it on a Kobo device as an epub.

I'd be interested to see the original version of the epub and see if there is something we can handle. I don't know if the ScrambleEbook plugin would work on it or not. It might break in the same way. If you can get it to me in some way, I'd like to test it.
