Thanks.

Thus (to modify an actual example) an SF author who wanted all speech from alienA in a different font and all from AlienB in a third font (and embedded fonts accordingly) would be violating this guideline and indeed if a reader didn't select or deselected 'publisher fonts' this distinction would not be visible.
