I've noticed that the fonts not loading and making the Kobo revert to the default Georgia are the ones with characters other than letters in their names (numbers or dots, for example). Removing these characters with FontForge allow the fonts to display successfully in fonts such as Minion 3 or Aldine 721.

They don't get displayed in the book text, but they do in the fonts list, which shows the font with the font itself. This means that it is a document problem. Something similar happens with the "Font test document" generated with KOReader. If I convert it to kepub, fonts with numbers don't get displayed unless their names are quoted in the css defining the styles that show them. I don't know how to do that on a global device level.

I've tested it on kepubs, not with epubs. Maybe they work also with them.

Can anyone confirm?
