Squirrelly doesn't begin to describe what I'm seeing from KDP:

Code:
body {
        font-family: "DG Didot", serif;
}
works, but:

Code:
body {
        font-family: "DG Didot", serif;
        -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
        font-smooth: always;
        -webkit-font-smooth: always;
        -moz-font-smooth: always;
        -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
        -webkit-line-box-contain: block inline replaced !important;
        line-box-contain: block inline replaced !important;
        text-rendering:geometricPrecision;
}
doesn't. Unfortunately, that code works around critical font rendering bugs in WebKit, many of which likely affect Kindle (untested).

Grr.

Edit: It looks like:

Code:
    text-rendering:geometricPrecision;
is the line that's breaking the online previewer.
