I believe this to be true. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I usually remove embedded fonts from my epubs.

Assuming that's the case, is there a way to make all epubs default to a certain font regardless of an embedded font or not?

Assuming the epub does not have DRM, these are the 4 steps I've used to surgically remove embedded fonts. You need to explode the epub and
- Examine the epub's CSS file for statements similar to
Code:
font-family:embedded_font_name;
and remove them.
- Remove all the @font-face statements. Depending how the epub was created these may be (best case) in the epub's CSS file or (worst case) at the top of each and every one of the epub's HTML files.
- Delete the actual font files (and directory) from the epub.
- Edit the epub's .opf file and remove any references to the font filenames in the <manifest> section.
It's possible you may get away with just doing steps 1 and probably 2, but I always do all 4 steps.
Your customised userStyle.css should then take over.
