Thanks for the suggestions. I think I got partway to solving the problem by converting the epub (where the embedded fonts are about half the size of the originals, so I am guessing they are "obfuscated") to AZW. I then convert that to mobi by opening it in Kindle Previewer 3. When I export it and send it to my Kindle Fire, it displays perfectly. (I would add that it makes no difference if I choose "publishers fonts" or not.)
When I then open that exported file in Kindle Previewer 3, it also displays correctly, though with the error message that it was "created with an older version of Kindle Generator that will not be supported in the future."
So far, so good. But when I try to load it into the KDP internet site, it is rejected with the error message: "There was a problem processing your file." I repeated the generation process from scratch and tried again. Same results. (I would add that the size is well within the 650 megabyte limit.)
Any ideas?
