Font won't embed
I have a proprietary font that embeds perfectly into EPUB, but when I try converting it to MOBI, the font is skipped. I check the metadata in the EPUB and the font is properly referenced there.
Any idea how to proceed?

The original MOBI format does not support embedded fonts. You need to use the newer AZW3 (KF8) or KFX formats.

Actually, as of about 6 months ago or so, Kindle was updated to accept embedded fonts and even allow users to use their own default font embedded in the file. Personally, I have used proprietary fonts for several books now.
But the problem, as I stated, is only with ONE of the fonts. The others in this particular case (none of which are among Kindle's defaults) embed fine.
