I also uninstalled the font hack. Am on 5.12.1 (unfortunately). I know I can convert to azw3 and send to kindle via usb but like being able to sync to my phone as well.
The reason is that you receive Mobi format eBooks from email and custom fonts are not supported by Mobi.

The solution is to not bother with email and just side load KF8 format eBooks to your Kindle. Don't bother with syncing. Just read a different book on each Kindle.
