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.

I read a lot of Star Trek eBooks and the publisher does embed fonts to give it a look like the paper version. I leave all of the fonts except the body font. I replace that with the font of my choice. I am find for any fonts used in the chapter title, sub headings, raised initial cap, etc. I just prefer a different font then the one the publisher has chosen to embed.
But, now that I have an H2O, I might try the publisher's choice of body font since I can change the line height and the weight of the font. With my T1, I had to take the font as is and it was too light. With Kobo Readers, you can patch the firmware to allow the advanced font control and it even works for the default embedded font.
