Please someone tell me there is a way to fix this !
I know that PDF files can have fonts embeded and those are OK but I really want to use epub. Should I maybe use different encoding ? Is there a way to embed font in epub ? What are the chances of someone replacing the font in a rooted Nook ?
Please help, I got tons of Czech and Slovak books I want to read.
thanks a lot !

There is certainly a way to embed fonts in epub (I mostly read in Russian, so I have to do it all the time). You can download epubgen-0.5.0.jar from
http://code.google.com/p/epub-tools/, run it on a .docx file and see what it does. At some point I want to morph it into a tool that would embed fonts into a given epub file, but that is still a long way off.
Epubgen subsets the font so the bloat is not that big (roughly the same as it would have been for PDF).
