Part of the problem is not all apps/devices play nicely. Some apps allow the user to pick and choose what changes to make, and which to leave as the publisher set. Other apps require the user to pick "publisher settings" or "device settings".

If you set a body font there will be people who can't change it and will get upset. It is common to simply set a header font - or a first-letter font - and leave the remainder of the body undefined so that it reverts to the app/device setting.

Of course, if your particular font is essential to telling the story then by all means embed it!
