I have three questions about the Kindle Previewer 3. I'm running the previewer in a virtual Win7 (32bit) PC under QEMU on Linux. The virtual PC has 4GB Ram. Previewer 2.94 runs as expected in this virtual PC.

1) I can't get KPV3 to display anything on the simulated tablet or phone "screens" in the preview window. All I see is the frame of the selected device (tablet, phone or kindle reader), with frame-less pages shown on the left in the preview window. I've installed KPV3 on my wife's win7 Home PC and there previews work showing the previews in the selected "device", although that PC also has 4GB Ram.

2) KPV3 running in the virtual PC refuses to display "Publisher Fonts". In fact, the menu choice to do so isn't there. On my wife's "real" PC again this works, but then it seems to use this font exclusively and not just in the few places where my CSS says the alternative font should be used. This is in contrast to, say, (i)Books on an iPad. Don't throw stones at me. I need a mono-spaced font for some script code listing that looks rather silly in a proportional font.

3) KPV3 dislikes floats on both installations I tried. If I have a float like a small image or a pull-quote set to any width less than 100%, KPV3 stretches it all the way across.

All three (!) cases work in KPV 2.94 and all the epubs validate.

I know 3.48 is available. Version 3.38 was the last one I was able to install under win7. I have a windows 10 (64bit) dvd here to install once I have a bit more time or I get desperate. Allowing windows to use more than 4GB of RAM might be enough to resolve 1) and 2), but I'm really frustrated about 3).

Does anyone have experienced one or more of the situations I described and found a way round? The first one I can cope with, but it's frustrating not to be able to see what is possibly just a "best case" scenario?
