BTW, since all Kindles and Kindle apps come with the Code2000 Unicode fallback font, there's no need to embed a chess font as long as the chess symbols in your book have been encoded as Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode characters (U+2654-U+265F). |
That works fine, thanks.

I just tried the latest version of Kindle previewer (166 Mbytes !) and the resulting file has the chess figurines, nice. I thought only a .azw3 file could have embedded fonts.
Actually I had already tried to convert with Calibre to .azw3 , no way to see the fonts,
and converting to Mobi, I am confused as opening this Mobi with Calibre you see the fonts, while with others emulators I don't, and I have no Kindle Fire to check. So I will use Kindle previewer.
I tried in the past the Unicode characters, but they are really, really ugly.

An additional problem however, I got a message that there is no cover: I used to add the cover and the description for the epub file while uploading on Kobobooks, and to add the cover, description and metadates with Calibre, saving then a Mobi file.
How shall I do now that I cannot use Calibre?
