Reviving this thread as well simply because this (and threads dating back to 2010) got me started on why certain fonts I was embedding weren't working on ADE. More than just putting the OS/2 version on 3...

You also have to check that the font is installable (not just editable). I was surprised to see that the Liberation Fonts were failing... until I changed that.

Perhaps, you may also need to check that the Charsets are properly set. I also had to select the 4 "Latin" Unicode Ranges on top and "1252 Latin-1" below for certain fonts... it may have to do with the fact that at some point, I made subset TTF files strictly for embedding. But ADE also ignored the font until I fixed that, too. In FontForge this is easily done but the interface is a bit clunky for changing the Charsets.
