When you say 'embed resident fonts' I assume you mean you have added @font-faces for one of the 6 T1 special fonts to the epub CSS file but not copied (i.e. embedded) the physical font files (.otf/.ttf)
Yes!

I created an epub with the following... Does any of this help you track down your problem?
Okay, I am clearly losing my marbles.

I tried your code, and it worked! Yippee!!!!!

Then, on a whim, I tried the same ebook that wasn't working last night and ... what?!?!? ... it worked!

I have no idea why it was not working last night as I didn't change anything.

But clearly, you can override embedded fonts using just CSS without having to strip the fonts (or at least, embedded resident fonts, maybe not embedded physical font files). Yippeee!!!!!

Once again, I am in your debt jackie_w.
