There's no way to create a KF8 dictionary that I know of. And there's no way to embed fonts in a version 7 type mobi. If there's a workaround for your catch-22 situation, I sure don't know what it is.
Agreed, you are totaly right. But in the end I was awesomely lucky and didn't need to embed the font just because, I was *specificaly* using the Klingon glyphs.

If ever someone request Vulcan translations, I would be back to the same problem .
