Description Dan Brown 2023-10-26 21:10:12 UTC
With fonts embedded and exporting to pdf, any equation that uses %kappa will result in the Greek kappa being dropped from the equation when uploading the pdf to Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). All other Greek letters in equations are recognized by KDP just fine, but not kappa. However, if the kappa is entered in a text line as a Basic Greek character then KDP recognizes it. It is only with the equation editor that kappa is not recognized by KDP. The temporary solution to this problem is to never use Greek kappa in any equations that are to be published through KDP.

Can you attach an example document that will show the problem? Is it possible to see the problem without KDP? Can we see it with any PDF viewer?

Sorry for the delay -- I just now saw that you were waiting on me for more info. I initially reported this to KDP and they said that it was a problem with embedded fonts. I then reported it to you. However, it looks like KDP has now fixed the problem. So this was not a bug with LibreOffice after all, but with KDP's software.
