In short, the typography will only work for a kfx downloaded directly to a device from Amazon, and the typography in the kfx file will ONLY work on that device. If you side-load the kfx to another device that supports the new typography, the new formatting will not show. You must go via the Amazon content servers.
I am not aware of anyone trying it yet, though. Unless it has been attempted and failed, we are existing in a total lack of any evidence whatsoever, and it would be unwise to jump to conclusions based on sheer pessimism.
