The K4 has 3 fonts. Two versions of Caecilia, One Sans Serif and a hidden Mono font. Any other font you see in a book is embedded in the file of the book you are reading. I find this annoying and remove them with Calibre.

I use Amasis that has been modified for eInk as my reading font.

The KT now might be different. The Kindle Previewer has a list of fonts when you go in preview mode for the KT.
Ok, I think I understand you now. I misspoke when I said "embedded fonts" in the second post. What I was really talking about was fonts defined in the css stylesheet, not kf8 files that have .tff inside them. And from what you're saying, there are only three fonts built in to the kindle e-ink readers: Caecilia, sans serif (Arial-ish), and monospace (courier-ish). Yay or nay?
