I know I want to embed fonts when I publish, but before I do I want to have an idea what is reasonable. I don't want to overload readers, for instance, so I was just pulling numbers from this thread:

So I just went and looked at some numbers. The Font I will for sure be using just for the title is a free font called Rebel Caps which I am lucky to have in OpenType Format at 29.8kb I also have the TrueType font, which is much larger, weighing in at 87.7 kb. [

The others I'd use are:
Play 167.1 kb
Goudy Bookletter 1911 39.1kb
Gentium (regular) 266.1 kb
(italic) + 259.9 kb
But I'm still figuring things out, and haven't decided for sure.
