That's perfectly understandable, but it's hardly necessary to hijack all of the text because of a handful of special characters in personal name. Just use the embedded fonts where absolutely necessary.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the newer Nooks will circumvent your embedded fonts right out of the box. That's the default behavior. Unless the user knows to go into the settings and enable "Publisher Defaults," they're likely to see question marks in place of those special characters regardless.
