What does all this mean? I've no idea. I'm just a tester....  |
Thanks, Chris, for your long answer! I hadn't the intention that you spend all day testing, but hopefully you found it interesting too.
What does all this mean? Well, Stanza uses the fonts of your iMac. These fonts are very extended and contain the characters of almost every language. Adobe Digital Reader uses it's own fonts, which are very limited. They display only a small subset of Unicode characters by default.
Your reader uses the mobile version of Adobe Digital Reader and hence does not display the characters needed for Polish, Russian, Greek, Esperanto etc.
If you want other characters than these to display in ADR, you will have to embed the required fonts into the ePub book. This is feasible, but I don't think my grandma, who just received her reader, will succeed in doing this...
You can change the system language of your mobile device, and as far as I understand in that case your device changes also the system font. Probably that is meant by the developers when they say that all these languages are supported.
