Then some glyps as missing depending on which of the subsetted font files the Kindle uses.
1. Don't use such a font.

2. For novels and most writing, LO Writer has been better than MS Word for years. Better than versions 2007 and older for over a decade.

3. You can see in Calibre if a font is missing bold and/or Italic versions and use Font tools to swap it.

4. Download and install fonts that are free and use them.

Note that the 4 oldest Kindles (excepts K3) only do Mobi which doesn't do embedded fonts.

Check the ebook works with a default font on a device as users can't be made to use a Publisher's embedded font.

Put too many fonts and Amazon KDP will remove them.
