Thanks, I have Noto, although for most Indic stuff I prefer Arial Unicode MS, or Mangal for devanagari, but the reason I asked about escalating is that the "publisher default" works in both Kobo apps, and fails only on the ereader. To me, that seems like a fault Kobo should be able to fix. If, for example, I had bought the book and ONLY had the Sage available to read it on, I'd be VERY annoyed, since so much of the book would quite literally be missing. I should not have to sideload a font in order to read a purchased kepub, I think. Of course, this is based on my presumption that the official apps download the same kepub that the Sage does. If that's not true, then all bets are off, I guess.

And just to make it CRYSTAL clear, to any who think otherwise, that the issue is font rendering, I've attached another set of screenshots showing that the problem is utterly unrelated to hyphenation.
