I can confirm that fonts in any books other than the internal one's don't look the same. The sans-serif is very obviously different.

Edit: It is possible to display embedded fonts in EPUBs. I'll have a trawl through the CSS and see what code is needed (most of the how-tos I've read don't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong).
