I wish in the Sony internal Settings, there is a default font choice setting as well as the (current) default font size setting.

Yes, changing original will change the original look of the ePub. It may not invalidate embedded fonts. It depends on how they are set in the CSS.
When changing font, the "serif" and "sans-serif" font-families are overridden, so any text that uses one of those (i.e. hasn't specified an explicit font-family) is rendered in the selected font.

However, as far as I know, if a book has its own @font-face declarations, they override any ones (of the same font-family) previously generated by the reader (which is why fonts with @font-face declarations look the same no matter what font is chosen in the select-a-font)? If the embedded fonts as declared as font-family="not serif or sans-serif" they won't be affected by the select-a-font.

When using the fonts.xml file to add/change what fonts are available via Sony's menu, after I select one of my installed fonts, the name displayed as to what font it is is a different name. The last font in the list gave me a title of Verdana.
Do you mean above the font sizes, like shown here? That's what I meant with

I'm well aware of it and I will fix it in a not too distant future I hope
