...whereas the conclusion I would draw is that, if you're preparing epubs for others, it's advisable to embed neither

If you're preparing them for yourself it's not difficult to find an acceptable solution. I don't think I'd want to give up the advantages of epub to get a fixed font selection in PDF, especially on a Kobo which doesn't seem like a great PDF reading experience (but that's obviously all just personal opinion

)

If you let the dropcap display in the same font as the main body text, by removing the font-family setting from the dropcap class, then you'll have a fighting chance of success. This is what I do for most modern fiction books I read. I only add the fancy initials for a few book series (such as the Wheel of Time fantasy in my original pic).
