AFAIK, the Personal Documents Service creates a Mobi7 file by default. And Mobi7 files don't support embedded fonts.
If you want to see the file(s) that KDP will offer to the readers, compile your book with
Kindle Previewer. Then get the
Calibre KindleUnpack plugin and unpack the .mobi file that KindlePreviewer has generated from your .ePub file. You'll end up with an azw3 file with an embedded font, a plain old mobi7 file without an embedded font file and the source files. (KDP will send the azw3 file to users who have a K3 or higher and the mobi7 file to all other users.)
Note that Kindle Previewer's eink preview is buggy, on a real Kindle the embedded font is being displayed (see screenshot).
