Yes--but in short, no fonts, as far as I know. AZK can't be uploaded at the KDP for sale; thus, it's a moot point. AZK's aren't generated for use, when the source (ePUB, MOBI, zipped HTML, whatever) at the KDP. As it only has KF7, for all intents and purposes, for a "for-sale" book, there are no fonts, as KF7 can't display them.

Not once the book is loaded for sale. And honestly, I don't recall seeing any fonts in any AZK that I've sideloaded, either--at least, not embedded font. (And for that matter, not even the fairly primitive, "sans serif here and serif there," from the firmware, either, IIRC.) OTOH, I freely admit that, given the limitations of the reader, I don't bother to test on it, unless we have an element (like the aforementioned text-boxes) that may present problems on the K4iOS reader.
