Subject: Embedded Fonts are Stripped on my Kindle Fire 5G

The KDP-generated MOBI for my draft eBook:
1. Renders fine in the MacOS Kindle Previewer & Kindle App;
2. Fonts are substituted in Kindle App on iOS but the result is acceptable.
3. Fonts are stripped & user selectable on my Kindle Fire 5G – unacceptable.

I use special fonts to convey source information and the book won't work without them. What steps must I take to make my fonts render the same on a Kindle Fire device as they render in the Kindle Previewer for the same device?

==========================

NOTE: The latest KindleGen guidance indicates that since I'm using the latest Kindle Previewer for conversion, I'm also getting the benefit of KF8 formatting.

The Previewer has created KF8 formatting for some years now. There's nothing new about that.

I think that given you followed everything that Kawasaki told you, you should tweet/email him and ask him to sort it out.
