Calibre's resize covers plug in may help - kindle will be happier with standardized 800 x 600 or 900 x 600 covers, I think. And other plugins should deal with missing covers not being where Kindle expects to find them.

books sideloaded by calibre via USB should show as books, not docs. That always worked for me. Those sent via email will show as docs.

And it may be possible to sideload fonts if you can find a copy e.g. in your PC fonts folder. Embedding them into books when you convert is another possibility to explore. That's stuff I've done for epub books and apps but not explored for kindle e-ink devices
