I too an ePub that had embedded fonts for use on my 505. But in Firefox, the base font did display because it was one of the ones I have in my fonts directory. So, when I converted that ePub to MS Reader, the base font was the same one I had specified.

Spoiler:
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Regular.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Bold.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Italic.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin_Sans";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_R_45b.otf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin_Sans";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_B_45b.otf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin_Sans";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_I_45b.otf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin_Sans" ;
font-weight: bold ;
font-style: italic ;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_BI_45b.otf) ;
}
body {
font-family: "Fontin", serif;
widows: 0;
orphans: 0
}


That is the CSS used in the ePub and Fontin is installed in Windows.
This isn't really embedding the font within the .LIT though, just referencing to a system available font. A different can of beans entirely.
