I do too, as far as the main text is concerned. But sometimes specific fonts are used for titles, quotes, footnotes etc.

An example: I have an epub of "Art History for Dummies". The main text is in a font I don't like (Cheltenham), so I did an override and used Fontin instead.
However, the image captions use Univers. This font is better suited for its purpose than Fontin, so I want to keep the embedded font.

So in some cases, a mix of embedded + custom fonts is what I want.

I'm a very demanding person...

I hope this clarifies (a bit) my original question/difficulty. Thanks for the reply!
