Embedded font issue
Hi, working on an epub, I created a font (based on Times New Roman) with some letters "rotated". I'm attaching an example.

The visualization is ok on the calibre editor, on Sigil, on ADE and on my kindle.
But when I open it with the Calibre (2.35) reader, this is the result:



If I change the css, forex adding "font-family: serif" to body, also the Calibre viewer show the book correctly.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a visualization error of the calibre viewer?

Thanks

Looks fine on my system. Probably you have the viewer's font set to Times New Roman and your modified font is also using the name Times New Roman.

You're right! I changed the viewer font and the book now is ok.
In order to be sure of a correct visualization on every reader, what do you suggest?

Change the name of your modified font to something unique.
