ONLY if the book is FXL of one color or another. Fixed-layout children's books, fixed-layout comics; fixed-layout textbooks. Other than that, you cannot connote a dual-content MOBI to be KF8 only, and you cannot submit a KF8-only regular book. Or, to be precise, you CAN submit a KF8 only reflowable book, but you can't limit the devices that buy it.
@Harry: no, it has naught to do with DRM. Zip, zein, zilch. The KDP will a) strip fonts from the MOBI file altogether, and, in some cases, b)
literally strip CSS from the stylesheet that calls for fonts.
@Harry 2nd time: yes, you can use media queries, so that you can display an image in X and text in Y, but...jeeeze, it's a bloody headache. For a while, you couldn't, because the iOS app would display BOTH. You hide one, display the other, and vice-versa.
@NIRC: may I ask what it is that you are doing? You mention a "proprietary font." Do you mean that you've created your own font? Or do you mean you've licensed a font for eBook purposes, and you can't make it work? How are you using it? And is that the sum total of fonts you're trying to use? Are you using Arial, by any chance, in the book anywhere else? How are you testing the conversion?
