Also in selling books we have to assume that people have not added fonts or jailbroken to have better default fonts, even though it's trivial (for people used to configuring computers, not all people) for older Kindles.
@Proximanova, In order to do it right for everyone, you have to forget any fonts that do not exist past the 1st version Kindle. And if any of the same fonts have been updated with any more characters/glyphs, you have to forget they exist.

This is just like if you are creating a complex layout in KF8, you have to think of Mobi as you do it.
