Question Removing embedded fonts from ePubs

I've noticed that some epubs have embedded 4 True Type Charis fonts making up for about 5 MBs. I'm not particularly fond of that font as I rather use the iPad's default Palatino which I think is good for reading on screen.


Two questions:

- Will removing these fonts break anything in the epub? I believe that if the style sheet is referencing these fonts and they are not found, the rendering will default to the system font, correct?

- Right now, for removing the fonts I explode the epub, remove the fonts from the fonts folder and rebuild the epub. Is there an option in the GUI to remove the embedded fonts - and perhaps all references to them in the style sheet?

Many thanks
