I'm tired of dealing with these e-book issues (I've been troubleshooting for over a month!) and I'm hot (it's 90 degrees here today).
Quote:
The "Publisher Font" option, previously, had nothing to do with whatever font calls you were making to the software/firmware. It was only there because you had embedded a font--ANY font--for any use. In your case, the Chapter heads. That option had nothing to do with whatever you were doing for the body, as the Publisher Font option only appeared for embedded fonts.
When you say this:
...it's as though you think that this has something to do with the non-existent body font. It doesn't and didn't. It had to do with that other font that you'd embedded for the Chapter heads. That's the only reason that PF ever showed up. You could set an on-device body font from now until hell froze over, and PF would never show up as an option. If you'd embedded a "symbols" font, for example, for a fleuron, it would show up, even though no letters/words, etc., in the book would have been affected.

Yes, I understand everything quoted above. Actually, I never disagreed with any of that. All I want to know is why the Publisher Font option is
not available now on Fire HD6, when I'm still using an embedded font for chapters? The Publisher Font option was there in earlier published books and it is
still there when I sideload recent mobis to Fire HD6. Now it's gone once the book is published. Shouldn't that option be in the published e-book that has an embedded chapter font, regardless of whether main text, device-available fonts were "called" or not?
This was meant to be an aside... When there is no body font specified, the published book now displays whichever font was last used on the device. Before, when no body font was specified, there was a Publisher Font option (because of the embedded chapter font). If that was selected, an unidentified serif font (unlike any in the device's font menu) was displayed for paragraph text--the same font that I see when Publisher Font is selected in the two Amazon-imprint books mentioned a few posts up.
To summarize, this is the behavior I've noticed in uploads since early/mid-February:
- There is no longer a Publisher Font option, when there was before, regardless of whether a "body" font was called or not. The embedded chapter font has always been there--then and now. Shouldn't that enable Publisher Font in the menu?
- My four e-books uploaded numerous times within the last month have auto-hyphenation. They didn't before.
You don't think those changes may be related? Anyone else?
