Keep in mind that I don't have a K4, so that's with a Touch...

Could you check if one of those 'embedded fonts forced on' files exhibit the same behavior in the sample? And if so, point me to the Amazon page for one of these books?

Thanks!
I went through my KF8s and found one that does show the option!
So it looks like it's working if coded right. The two I am having trouble with I picked them apart again. It seems to be missing some of the fonts define in the style sheets so I am getting half embedded and half Caecilia. No wonder it looks odd. One thing I have learn since yesterday is the default custom font does not work with KF8 you are stuck with Caecilia. Oh well it's back to using Mobi because I need my custom font!

The samples don't seem to include any fonts. Maybe they fixed it, I had these since July but I don't see any updates in MYK page.

I am thinking the two KF8s weren't coded correctly so I assume all KF8s were like that but I found one that is coded right and it works as it should I can turn the font on/off. I'm going to pick it apart and see if I can find the difference.
