@jackie_w and @lendsman Thank you both for your experiments. If you copied the text from the preview, that would explain a lot, especially about why the preview renderes just fine but Kobo's own Web Reader does not. If the preview is using a Noto devanagri font, that's Unicode (and one I have on my reader too). The embedded fonts are not Unicode - in my quest to them I actually found an online tool to convert from the fonts used to a Unicode font.
The issue seems to be with the embedded font not being called by the kepub for whatever reason, and perhaps that's why once I had removed the kepub from my device I couldn't redownload it (it was only removed from the device, not put in the archive).
THe point of the experiment (apart from wanting to read the book ofc) was to test the advertised improved handling of Hindi in 4.35 Kobo's Hindi has always been problematic in my limited experience, one of the very first books I ever bough from Kobo was a Hindi translation of the Jungle Book and it too was a mess - Hindi characters but messed up and missing glyphs and still effectively unreadable. So I was hoping for better things from 4.35. If my experience is in any way indicative, it might explain part of the reason for pulling the firmware
