Does Kindle recognise embedded fonts? because this will be converted to .mobi as well?
TBH I keep banging my head against my desk in disbelieving that although the IDPF is supposed to be the "industry standard" which all the major players are members of, and I'm assuming all sit around in their ivory tower...
Yet they ignore everything and do what they want and we're stuck here picking up the pieces...

I feel your pain, mate.
You see, Apple got beaten over the head so badly with the MS "embrace and extend" tactic that it decided to adopt it. It has been posted many times before, but if you go back and watch carefully that ground-breaking
Apple "1984" Superbowl ad, you will see that today, the roles have been precisely reversed. "We have met the enemy, and they are us." -- berkekey breathed, "Bloom County," way back then.
(pedantic note inserted: the original "walled garden" enemy was IBM. not Microsoft. And the bra-less hammer-thrower is now not Apple, but ::cough:: linux ::cough:: )
So, sadly, mate, he's very serious.
Now, as to whether Kindle (mobipocket) respects embedded fonts, I don't know. I suspect not, but I would love to see a definitive answer.
