Well, I don't need it to look exactly the same on devices I don't have... and I am not in the habit of scrutinizing my books to see how they render on different devices. In fact, I have absolutely no clue what font most of my books use... except the MOBI ones, I know those don't embed fonts.
I am perfectly happy with the Kindle's Caecilia regardless of your hatred.
If a book contains special characters not in the builtin fonts, the maker would know by dint of using really weird characters, and embed a font. It is exceedingly unlikely to happen in actual books bought and sold... the ones that do have this problem are not your typical novel.
