Yes, it worked, but it's too much of a hassle to be useful and embedded fonts are only effective for Latin text. (See screen capture.)

Why would you want to shape letters manually when the Kindle rendering engine will do it for you?
IIRC, Persian usually doesn't use diacritics so why go through the hassle of preshaping the letters?
BTW, did you test my files on your K3, and did they display correctly? If they didn't, you probably transfered them via the Cloud or your FW3.4 update failed. (My test file didn't contain preshaped letters. I.e. preshaping is
not required.)

Could you please explain more? |
Fixed layout books are KF8 .mobi files with special markup in them; they're primarily used for comic books and children's books. For more information see the
Kindle Publishing Guidelines.
