Because you didn't read/understand anything that I said? ^^

Font rendering is a very complex thing.

Long story short: the renderer/settings used by the Kindle (mobi reader) are tweaked towards making the default fonts look good. That said, it's also fairly good with the vast majority of correctly built TT fonts. And in that specific example, I'm fairly sure that this specific font *can* be rendered correctly, provided it's properly converted/tweaked to TTF.
