Howdy:

oh, hell, sorry. (). I don't think, sometimes. Yes, that follows the same rule. In our normal course of business, we build all our client mobi's locally, both with KG and KP, and that's what the first indicator was, a "locally-built" mobi that had vanishing fonts. That one was built with KindleGen from the CL running via a PERL script. We then tried it every other possible way; ePUB->KP (just in case) to KDP; ePUB to KDP; zipped HTML to KDP; etc. No combination of "normal" worked. Only the abnormal via WinRAR has "worked" in resulting in a mobi file with Type1 fonts.

Did I clear that up? Sorry...it's been a very, very long weekend, with a lot of very distressed clients who don't understand why what they got from us suddenly turned into big piles of unrecognizable books post-upload. I'm probably not as clear as usual.
