My font was in extended unicode, so getting it to show up on the kindle involved many, many possible points of failure.

Sure, Mobigen produces a KF6 mobi with no error:
Code:

Info(prcgen): MOBI File successfully generated!
But the device still ignores the embedded font:
I think that KF8 is the minimum trigger (though I am not sure of anything).
I agree that if all users of my dictionary had installed a Unicode font supporting these glyphs, there would be no need for embedding. That is the point : to prevent forcing new font installation.
Thanks for your much appreciated suggestions.
