I know I could fix it by editing the book and stripping the fonts, but I shouldn't have to, and to be honest, I'm too lazy. If, when I finish the book, I decide that it's one I want to read again, I'll probably fix it. I *really* shouldn't have to, though, especially considering it's a book from a BPH.

The book is
The Martian. They embedded free serif, free sans, and free mono. These fonts are awful and yes, you should remove them. The monospace font is so light, it can cause eyestrain. The others aren't much better. I did remove these fonts. There's no way at all I was going to read with these fonts embedded.
