For the most part, when I run into an ebook with embedded fonts, I remove them using Sigil -- if I really wanted to read an ebook using Times New Roman, I'd sideload it on my ereader.

Thanks for the reply. My problem is that I bought Kobo to enjoy epubs, only to learn (my mistake) that it's actually a kepub reader and that original epubs bought and downloaded via ADE from Kobo, run through Calibre only to disinfect, neither look good on Kobo nor do they have all "kepub" features.
Second reason I wanted Kobo is because I am using Kindle PW2 so I got tired of embedding fonts in Calibre and wanted a reader that offers fonts options. So I only convert to kepub and after side loading choose Amasis which exists on Aura HD. And the book was freezing...
Not to talk about me trying Aura for the sd card slot which PW doesn't have, only to discover that using sd card also causes bugs....I have to admit I am a bit disappointed, but the reason might be that I am too long Kindle user to be able to peacefully deal with all the bugs.
In any case thanks to you and other members here, I am still not throwing Aura into the wall
