True, but does your reader allow you to change the default font from TNR to something else? I find TNR a bit harder to read than some typewriter and dot matrix fonts, which is why I always embed a clone of Bookman or New Century Schoolbook when I'm compiling an ePub, and sometimes a font for headings as well.
