It looks to me like that book was originally created using a pre-Unicode 8-bit character set, such as Windows-1252, and the publisher substituted unused characters with those needed for the book.

Thank you! I didn't even know I had 'publisher font' on there, because it's right at the bottom of the list which is usually in alphabetical order! This is so annoying though because there is no 'boldness' option, and it seems like in calibre reader it uses my normal font for all the words which don't need the special embeded publisher font, but on the kindle it's all in that font and super faded/tiny. Going to be annoying to read, why do people do this, and on Amazon as well, ugh.
Fixed this thanks again.
