Yes, assuming that the reading software supports embedded fonts. But that would force a particular font on the user on readers that would otherwise support selecting a custom font (e.g., the Cybooks).

Really, the culprit here is Sony (for not allowing custom fonts on their readers) and Adobe (for not providing a better Unicode coverage in the default font). There's no excuse for any of them.
