The font faces are declared in the core-styles.css which is referenced by the html. They are right up at the top. They are not type 1s (I tossed a type one out, actually), and it does not matter if I use open type or true type as the results are the same (fonts stripped)... (I must note that I have alternating read posts by people who swear by one or the other, do you have a suggested type? converting is not a huge issue, after all.) All told I've tried about 10 fonts, multiple file formats of many of them, and none of survived.

If you have a suggested font format (otf/ttf) I will certainly go from there as I continue to try and troubleshoot. But the Kindle Previewer does not throw a single warning on the fonts I'm working with currently, so I am at a loss as to why they're not making it through KDP. :/

I even tried specifying a body font on the off chance that KDP was requiring one before allowing header/display fonts to be used, but that didn't work.

I am literally open to any suggestions or tips.

Thanks a ton for replying!

(P.S. I realized I missed answering one question. The fonts are in the manifest, of course.)
Matt(hew):

The only thing I see, at all--and of course, none of us are looking at the actual ePUB--is that after your font calls, you don't have the actual type declaration, e.g.:

Code:
	src:url("../Fonts/OratorStd.otf") format("opentype");
...as the last line in the CSS for each font. The format () part. And not to be a pain, but can you give us how you manifested them? I don't see anything overtly incorrect with your coding, and we use embedded fonts in mobis all the time. I mean, ALL the time, for title pages, chapter heads, etc.
