Special fonts that stupid publishers leave in because what every ebook really needs is to have Garamond enforced because that is what AWP defaults to or something, and they are too lazy to put effort into their product. At the cost of an additional MB per book.

Alternatively, a way for ebook geeks to efficiently embed fleurons via empty unicode characters.

Alternatively, a way to show a very few characters with some sort of special effect-like font. Hopefully they subset the font.

Alternatively, a way for people to add their own fonts to their Kindle without resorting to the Fonts hack.
