  3. The book opening to the title page, rather than the cover.
  4. Not being able to center a block of text, or images, vertically on a page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The book itself is done and ready for print. I just need to get this ebook version done.

When I generated an azw3 in calibre and sent it to my Kindle PW4, the header font showed. The images sized properly. I also tried using Kindle previewer to generate it's dual mobi output (a mobi and a azw3 in the same file). I split the mobi and azw3 in calibre using KindleUnpack. The azw3 worked okay on my PW4 but the mobi showed the image oddities and lack of fonts that you were mentioning.

Vertical centering text generally ends up needing to use a table. To vertical center an image alone on a page, you can use a svg wrapper. There are other techniques but they depend on having the renderer support that code.

You may need to manually edit the content.opf file in the ePub to change the start page. If I am remembering correctly, in the epub you originally attached, there was a line pointing to the title page which read:
Code:
<reference type="text" title="Beginning" href="Text/eBook%20Version%20of%20BFAD.htm#start"/>
You would need to change that to:
Code:
<reference type="text" title="Beginning" href="Text/cover.xhtml"/>
