@kdm,
The original post is quoting (in blue) from an old thread where someone was trying to read the Greek New Testament on a T1 (the original issue was never about RTL). None of the T1 built-in fonts had the all necessary Greek characters. At the time the only way to use a font which did contain all the characters was to fully embed the chosen fonts INSIDE the epub. This was not a difficult exercise but it does require some surgical editing of each epub. Most people wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis. The old post was about how to do the surgical editing.
Things have moved on since then and easier methods have been found for Sony epub font customisation -- but only for LTR epubs. PDFs will work, for LTR and RTL, as well (or badly) as they ever did.
