The problem here is the way Amazon has handled font embedding. Amazon totally botched it (IMHO). The reason it's botched is they set the use publisher font default wrong. It should be on. I can easily see a lot of people NOT turning on the publisher font and if there is a need for the publisher font, then the eBook won't look right or read correctly. On should have been the default with allowing the user to then turn off the embedded font(s).
So if you are embedding a font because you need to so parts of your book with display correctly, I can easily see a lot of people NOT turning on the embedded font and not having the book display correctly.
