I do most of my reading on my Oasis (2nd gen). I usually use the send-to-kindle service via a browser to send my books and everything is fine.
I started playing around with sending books via email from Calibre, and after setting it up correctly, it works well.
But for testing purposes, I tried sending to my kindle app on my android phone. Again, this works. But for some reason, I only see 2 fonts: Bookerly and Droid Serif. Neither is good for my books (I read in Hebrew).
I guess that it is working as expected on my Oasis since I manually added custom font to it, which is something I can't seem to do on android.
So I tried embedding the referenced fonts using the Calibre editor. And I also used that option when converting from EPUB to EPUB or from EPUB to AZW3.
Nothing works.

What am I missing?
