There are many books in which it is advantageous to use different fonts. Eg, in a programming textbook, one would probably want to have the main text of the book in a proportional font, but the code listings in a monospaced font. The Reader can do that - MobiPocket can't.

TYpically you do this by specifying alternate font families. For e.g. an alternate monospaced family or an alternate serif family etc.
