But, there are reasons for having an embedded font. Take the eBook 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It uses a number of embedded fonts to duplicate the look of the pBook and it works very well. I would not want to have to give that up knowing what I was missing.

Another reason for embedded fonts is that you need specific character(s) not available in the default font.
