Hi:
Nope, not at all (faint outline). If it was an outline thing, I'd likely have ignored it. I mean...I've mentioned this type of oddball behavior here before, poss. not in this thread or hell, even this particular sub-forum. If you can recall the HP movies, with that newspaper, and how the letters would go floating about, rearranging themselves on the paper? It's more like that. It looks like the letters come "unstuck" from the page/screen, and move about. (See attached). I have better views of it, on my desktop box, but they're also more indicative of the book itself, and the client wouldn't be happy about that.
I'm in constant email to/fro with Amazon about it. They're aware of the behavior. The problem is, now, there's apparently no way to know, EXACTLY, what the outcome is/will be, if we proceed with this looking as it does, unless/until the book goes on sale. (That's a whole other topic, and I haven't decided whether to kvetch about it here or not.)
It only displays on the Voyage emulator. Both--desktop and KDP. It doesn't happen on the real device. This one and the client's next (both with the same layout and fonts) are both on pre-order, so...I really, really hope that the bloody thing is working. This particular client will not be a happy bunny if either a) the font is "melting" or b) the font doesn't work in the book.
