If I filter out font-family to strip out references to the publisher's embedded font, calibre will end up not adding the font I am embedding to the CSS output, although it appears to still include the font files to the azw3. Yes, it is filtering out its own font.

My current workaround is to edit the file manually or to do two conversions, one to filter out embedded font and another to embed my own.

I think it would be useful to have an option to strip out any existing embedded font (both reference in CSS and font files).

Thank you.
Modify EPUB PI can do some of this
