I have couple of books now, not side-loaded, but officially purchased from the Amazon store, where I can't switch fonts - regardless of what font I choose in the font selection dialog, the text of the books is shown in san-serif font that looks like Helvetica. There is no 'publisher font' in the font selection dialog, so I assume these books do not contain embedded font.

In other books, including both bought in the Amazon store and sideloaded via 'Sent email' Calibre option (as personal documents), fonts are changing according to the selection in the fonts dialog.

I noticed this after I manually upgraded the Kindle Paperwhite firmware to new 5.3.0 version. But I can't tell if this books did not allow font changing before I upgraded, so this may be not related to this upgrade.
