Ok - this would only make sense with pre 5.4 FW on the PW1 (or older devices) - but wouldn't it be nice to map custom fonts to generic font families?
Generic font-families in CSS are
- serif - mapped to Caecilia
- sans-serif - mapped to Helvetica
- cursive - no mapping
- fantasy - no mapping
- monospace - mapped to KindleBlackboxC
So - afaik - not all generic font-families are supported on the Kindle.
Lately in well-done ebooks the use of generic font-families seems more common. So you may have chapter headings with font-family="some embedded font",sans-serif, the main text with font-family=serif and some handwritten letters with font-family="a second embedded font",cursive.
When you select Publisher Font with such a book you get the embedded font for the headings, Caecilia (arghh) for the main text and the second embedded font for the letters. When you de-select Publisher Font you get the whole text with the font ticked (font-family is ignored).
I tried to add alias sections to the alternate.conf from the "fontconfig"-hack - but that didn't work for me. I'm not able to do all the usb-networking and scripting. But I can see browser-like settings for the mapping as a good thing. Perhaps even a hack for the default font the Kindle falls back on if - this would be Helvetica with FW 5.3.9 - there isn't a font-family set for the main text in the above mentioned example and Publisher Font is selected.
Sadly can't do much more than make the suggestion.
