Yes, whatever that is, it's weird. I don't think that I actually have any CSS that specifies a base h2 style, and then overwrites it, as he does; our sheets tend to look like ".stylename" which gets applied to the given element, not specific to an element, e.g., "h2.stylename" or what-have-you, so I never even glanced at that. Once I got his file to build w/o the material between the endmatters, I figured the troubleshooting was fairly straightforward from that point, and he'd know his file far better than I. He did an excellent job of finding it so quickly!
The other...man, who knows. This is seriously hinky Fu, submitting "unsafe at any speed" ePUBs, but....for this week, until I can clear out everything we have in-house that has Type1s, it's the solution du jour. What's interesting is we had some inklings of this (no CS Lewis cracks, guys!), not about fonts, but about SRL's (Start Reading Locations) because we've had to rig together some unzipped--zipped--ePUB'ed files, also imperfect, to solve THAT problem, as well, in the last month or so. Something is definitely "up" at KDP, and whilst it may be helping the DIY'ers, it's certainly not helping the rest of us. Just my $.02, FWIW.
Tox: I have a linux box around here, but I'll have to dig it out and see what I have running on it. My assistant has a linux laptop but her sys resources are very limited.
Thanks, guys,
