The book also had a custom line height so that it looked like it was double-spaced at the smallest line setting. Usually, I can handle pretty much anything, but when a book has the font *deliberately* locked in to be too small for me to read without my glasses I have to fix it. So...I just converted it to .mobi in Calibre...no more "custom" fonts. In my opinion, if a author/publisher uses custom fonts with no way to turn them off, it should be noted in the book's description.

Why didn't you just turn publisher fonts off? "Off" is in fact the default when you open a book: you have to deliberately choose to turn embedded fonts on.
