Okay, on review… this is what we in The Biz call a PEBKAC error: Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

The obfuscated font is an Adobe resource, one which is protected by DRM.

You have instructed Modify to remove Adobe resource DRM meta tags.

Without that tag, readers no longer have the keys required to decode the DRM which obfuscates the font.

Modify is doing exactly what you’ve told it to do. The problem is that you’ve told it to break your book’s fonts.

This is not a bug, nor is it new behavior.

It may be that some additional warnings about this scenario are warranted, but this is at its heart a plugin which exists to allow the user to make significant changes. Some of those are dangerous… and this is one of them.
