I like the books where the publisher has used an ornate embedded font for things like chapter headings, scene break ornaments, etc. If it is done right then I can override the font used for the main text but still see the pubisher's fonts used in those places.

Edit: Screenshots from a book where the publisher has got it right: First shot shows the book with the font set to document default, the second with it set to Georgia. The publisher's font remains for chapter headings etc. but the reader can choose the font to use for the main text.
Nice explanation! I guess these fonted heading imparts magical effect while reading quite similar to images and there is no place for a custom font to be inside paragraphs.
