The other embedded fonts appear as they should. When I to turn off publishers fonts on the the e-ink device, all the text appears normally in the default font - indicating the problems with Baskerville.

For some reason the Baskerville font is not working on the e-ink devices. the font I am using is a free version of Baskerville from Google Fonts. I would be grateful if anyone could advise as to what might be happening and offer a possible solution.
May I ask, which e-ink Kindle, precisely? Kindle, Kindle2, early K3 or DX, or do you mean the Paperwhite?
