It depends on the format.
- PDF yes (although stay far, far away from it)
- RTF no
- you can't display HTML directly on the Reader
- LRF if you embed it at the creation of the file
- EPUB I have no idea

If you want to embed a font into a file, go with LRF. It's the Reader's default format. To create such a file, use
Book Designer.
Bear in mind that page turning is a lot slower with embedded fonts.

Yes, there is. It does involve installing a modified firmware, but it's a quick and painless process that is completely reversible. Page turning is also as fast as with the default fonts. You can find a very detailed, step-by-step guide on how to achieve what you're asking
here.
