If you emebd Chinese fonts in a Kindle eBooks (KF8), how do you get the readers to turn on Publisher font? The problem there is that sure the Chinese fonts will show up under Publisher Font, but you get either a very poor sans-serif or the default serif font. You cannot have partial embedded fonts with your choice of main font with Kindles. This to me is a major design flaw in the software.
