Calibre has a serious bug with KF8 & embedded fonts
I can convert an ePub with embedded fonts using Kindlegen and it works fine as far as the Kindle Tough works. I can use the embedded fonts no problem. But when I use Calibre to convert the ePuyb to KF8, the embedded font fail to work.
This is something that really needs to be fixed.. |

Open the azw3 in Kindle previewer or on the kindle fire. Do the fonts show up?
If they do tell amazon to stop pretending that the Touch has kf8 support. |

I might have access to a Kindle Fire sometime during the week and can test things out. |

That's because kindlegen does not obfuscate the fonts in its mobi output and amazon's truly pathetic Kindle Touch KF8 reader cannot handle obfuscated fonts.
