That's what it turned out to be -- although, oddly, the old names worked fine in 3.12.x and 3.13.x? I figured this out by experimentation when I noted that the Kobo version of the font worked, both regular and italic (although it was too light and, since my Glo is not jailbroken, I couldn't adjust weight). The Kindle version of the font won't change weight either -- but it's at the darkness I want, as is. The name of the Kindle font was (something like) Serif_Regular and Serif_Italic (nothing about Constantia) -- so, until I changed the name, Italic came first -- I would get
everything in Italic. When I renamed the fonts something like Serif_a_Regular and Serif_b_Italic, I would get the regular font, but -- again -- for everything. When I changed the names to match the Kobo font's name scheme, that's when it worked (Constantia-Regular and Constantia-Italic, I believe). I'm guessing now I could add the bold fonts, if I wanted them (even in 3.12.x and 3.13.x the Kobo would default to bold unless I left out the bold versions of the font).
But all this was just -- basically -- blind luck for me. Now that I know how the naming scheme works I should be able to add more fonts without having to experiment each time.
Thanks for the explanation. I've clipped your message for future reference.
