Fonts used by Amazon KDP....

 

 

Recently I tried to publish one of  my books (Antiqristianity: the religion of Alexander the Great) and I ran into a problem: the font I wrote with was "Lucida Fax."  Amazon KDP called this "an error" and forced me to edit it with an accepted font.  I first tried to simply highlight the text and change it to a different font, but the PDF remembered the font and didn't allow me to publish it.  Traces of Lucida font was in the Word.doc file and in the .pdf file.  So I copied the text into a Notepad program, then recopied that into a New File (Word.doc) with "Arial" font (one of the accepted fonts listed by KDP).  Note that my book was then 406 pages long.  The Max # of pages with color images is 600 pages.  Then I published it with success.  It still had errors ("embedded fonts") but that is usual, even if I embedded them correctly (Bold or Italics).  

So I stopped using Lucida fonts. I had to look online for the solution.
