Just got my Kobo today. Pretty happy with it. For English books, it works pretty well. But for Asian languages. I have to embed font into epub file to read. This is kind a pain as it increase the file size, and kind of annoying. Tried the tool I found on the forum. Found it is pretty good, except it includes the font 4 times while what really needed should be just once.

So my question is: Since Kobo is based on Linux, anyone knows if we can do some trick like src: url(KoboMountedInternal<Or External SD>/Font/xxx.ttf)?

So we will only need to update css in calibre.

Thanks in advance.
