I am sure that is how my Sony PRS650 works.
It shouldn't. If you don't specify a specific font, the reader will use its own fonts. However, you can use a specific font if you want and the readers should honor this. It is sometimes used for chapters. My PRS-300 does honor it.
For some readers the fonts cannot be hacked and this is the only way. Also, sometimes you only want a part in a different font (chaptertitles, notes, letters, etc).
When possible, I avoid using fonts. On much readers is it more of a hit-and-miss.
