All?
Including KF7 devices? What happens on a KF8 eInk, with the font for Dyslexia, when chosen?
We've been through a lot, with small-caps, and all sorts of incipits, because of course (somewhat like copyright pages), every bloody self-pub through our doors has their own idea of what's "right." Smallcap incipits; smallcap incipits after scene-breaks. No asterisms or other fleurons for scene-breaks; all scene-reaks with asterisms/fleurons, and so forth. And of course, incipits can go too far, too short, yadda. But, back to SC.
Obviously, you have to embed an actual SC font, typically, to get real SC, like Caslon BigCaps, etc. If you don't, you end up with what IME is a mess. You also get problems when you embed a given font, call it, and then, in the PPW family, "publisher font" gets turned off, and you're left hanging.
Oh, well. The more we try to do, the more we end up rueing it.
