It's been a long time since I did it, but I am fairly certain that you can replace the default fonts used by the LRF renderer as long as you use the name of an existing font.

Embedding fonts in epub isn't a great solution in my opinion since it inflates the size of every book you load (unless you do the thing where you point to some font files in the reader's file system instead of within the epub itself; but that semi-breaks the epub for use elsewhere).
