*IF* it's even possible to do within the hardware limitations of the kobo, I'm all for supporting custom body fonts as long as there's a way to shut them off. Body fonts will be an absolute performance killer on the kobo, just as they are now on the Nook and Sony devices. Kindle, the largest eReader in the world by far, doesn't even support them, also for performance reasons, no doubt.
Bottom line is, it's simply not a bug and never was one. Yet, you continue to cause significant confusion among newbies here by claiming such. You're just going to have to accept that both the kobo and Kindle chose a different path for eBook fonts than you'd prefer. Strangely, there *are* eReader alternatives that *do* provide what you want, which makes me wonder why you're still here.

Yes, it is a bug. Embedded fonts work if not in the body style. But they are supposed to work in a body style. Embedded fonts do not impact performance on a nook or Sony. Embedded fonts don't work on a Kindle not because of performance issues, but because of the format. Mobipocket does not allow for embedded fonts. That's why you don't have embedded fonts with a Kindle. Body fonts do not kill performance any more then placing the font-family code in other styles. In fact, my old 505 handled e,bedded fonts without a problem and the processor in that was slower then that used in the Kobos.
