Bug Description

Publisher Font option is not available in side-loaded books converted with Calibre using Kindle Firmware 5.13.5. However e-books converted with Kindle Previewer 3 to MOBI format still shows this option. There is a thread at MobileRead forums, which may help you to find a solution: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=337278.
"After further testing I have determined that the Publisher Font option is controlled by metadata within the KF8 file. If EXTH field 528 (OverrideKindleFonts) is set to "true" then the Publisher Font option is made available for that book. If it is missing or set "false" the Publisher Font option will not be shown."

Calibre version: 5.13.0
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 20H2 x64
