Maybe it will work removing the custom fonts, restarting once or twice, and putting them back? Try if that helps, I am no longer fiddling around with it. Falling back to Caecilia Condensed, which works just fine for me

I don't want to give up my custom fonts, they're darker and my eyes don't like the lighter fonts. So, I guess, I'll keep using the work-arounds. I know you can make the built-in fonts bolder, but then they start losing their shape. I'm glad I was able to freeze the Kindle PW 3 at 5.9.7 -- it works fine with the custom fonts for everything. I'm guessing Amazon found that most people didn't care about custom fonts so it's not a high priority to keep this feature working.

I haven't had any trouble with side-loaded books, but my custom fonts don't play well with anything I download from Amazon on 5.12.3. What's weird is that the old PW 2 (stuck at 5.12.2) works fine on all books, except for the "Send to Kindle" ones. But the Kindle Basic (8th Generation) didn't. I kind of wish Amazon would fix this.
