We finally ended up using a mix of "quote" characters, italic, bold and smallcaps to indicate the different species. All I can remember at this point was the use of guillemets and italic for a species that was telepathic.
Personally, I felt it was a bit of a mess but they were more or less happy until they looked at the sales numbers. Money wise, they likely would have done better collecting refundable containers off the street.

Yeah, but...that's hardly uncommon.
I agree, afaik, the ePUB devices work generally.
The far bigger issue is, IMHO,
if the fonts are that important--how can you adjust everything for that, given that you have no way to "force" the reader to use them/see them? Tsk.
