To work around this, embed the font you want, for whatever you want, and use the body tag for the font you want them to be able to change. Right?

-- Sorry, not sure if I'm getting this.
I have a book with CSS like:
Code:
body {font-family: serif; }
@font-face { font-family: 'Fraktur'; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; src: url('../Fonts/OldEng.ttf'); }
.Fraktur { font-family: 'Fraktur', serif; font-style: normal; }
And apply it with a span:
<span class="Fraktur">Christmas Greetings!</span>
I can choose a font on Kindle, but then the Fraktur style doesn't show. If I choose "publisher font" then everything else becomes Bookerly. So the reader can choose the body font, at the cost of screwing up the display text.
Is that what you meant?
