With one exception, they were all my own custom fonts, based largely on SIL OFL-licensed fonts, but I've massively reworked the kerning, and in some cases added various 'calt' tables and other features to suit my purposes. Additionally, I corrected various font metrics so that the somewhat quirky font handling code in Kindle readers wouldn't render the fonts in a badly distorted way.

Some are OTF, some are TTF. Every font disappeared. Worse, most of them were still referenced, apparently, causing the online previewer to show square boxes where the letters should be. That's just not right....

KDP's import also mutilated my SVG text, changing the font size to approximately one point tall (unreadable). I can't even imagine what would cause that.
