I recently did an export from InDesign to Epub. Seems to work really nicely (before, I was only given a press-ready PDF...which made it a lot more difficult).

Anyhow, InDesign even embeds the fonts. Generally speaking, is this okay to do? Will these embedded fonts cause some readers to not display correctly? Or does this break any best practices rules?

The press I'm working for puts a lot of work into their books in regards to design, so if I could actually use their chosen fonts (title headers mostly) I'd like to do it -- but not at the expense of ruining it in certain readers.
