i'm wondering why you put "restriction" in quotes,
as if to imply that it's not _really_ a "restriction"...

it is.

as to the "benefit" of having multiple fonts, well...

to me, this just means that instead of having all the text
in the one font that i prefer, because i can read it best,
i have it in multiple fonts that i don't prefer because i
cannot read them best.

if that's a "benefit", you can keep it...
