Yes, we're saying the same thing. I'm saying that if you build a file, with the file extension, "MOBI" in Calilbre, you get a KF7 which means, ixnay on the fonts. The OP, I believe, or some other folks, mentioned "MOBI" (in the colloquial sense) and I was trying to make it clear that if he's building a MOBI via Calibre, and then looking for fonts, he's making himself nuts for no good reason.

And on Kindles you have to select Publisher on aA even if it's a dual or azw, on most Kindles, to see the original embedded fonts. Which needs 3.x something or later FW. So an updated Kindle Keyboard, but not the slightly later DXG as it never got that option (not enough RAM because it's really a DX with a newer screen).
Yes, that too. I thought we'd mentioned it here, but perhaps we didn't. I have been discussing this, or a similar topic, somewhere and maybe I've confused or conflated the two conversations.

Thanks for clarifying that for the OP.
