  • Embedded fonts for rare characters (like the 🌔 Gibbous Moon)
Does that include KOReader? I don't use it but see a lot of discussion about it as an alternative on Kobo ereaders. From that, I assumed it was doing at least as good a job as the RMSDK and Kobo's kepub renderer. Or does it have an option to ignore it and that is the default?

The same goes for the calibre viewer. I mainly use it for quick checks, but, it generally matches with what I see on my Kobo devices. It is possible to override a lot, but, I don't.
