Just not on my Android Kindle reader, which is the latest version, BTW. I don't know if this got broken somewhere along the way of never worked properly. But it's a real nuisance.
If you open the MOBI file in Kindle Previewer in one of the Kindle Fire modes, do you see the same problem? If so, please post a short snippet of your markup and a copy of any CSS that applies to it.

Edit: Never mind. I just saw that it works on the Fire. That's really odd. I would have thought that the Fire, being Android under the hood, would use the same app. Are you sure the problem isn't specific to your particular device model? This sounds like it might be a missing font....
