Real life is pretty large. You may wish to embed fonts for many reasons: contents or aesthetics among them. For example, to display Greek quotes, true smallcaps, dropcaps using special Swash fonts for laser effects
, etc.
For the time being Kobo ignore these special needs. You'll find here an example with any of these books:

- the EPUBs are not displayed correctly because Kobo ignores the
Linux Libertine Display font (used for some titles and dropcaps) and the smallcaps font.
On the other hand, the six inch PDF with exactly the same display is
perfectly displayed with the Kobo Glo.
And you may as well forget the endnotes, because the KoboGlo does not seem to know how to deal with them. After some tries, I've stopped playing hit and miss...
