If it's embedded, can't you just turn off publisher fonts?
Kindle has an OK monospaced font you can use if you really need it.
So I can't guess why such a font was embedded at all. I guess it was just a default and not an informed choice.
By the way, it looks like Courier was used to indicate a "computer font". Which is pretty dumb for a book set in the future. I used fonts like that (actually, better than that) when I was using a line printer back in the 70s (screens? You know how much one of those costs?). I might use a sans as that's more common with screen fonts this century. Though personally I use Georgia most of the time if I can choose.
Only times I've used a typewriter mono font was to 1) emulate a typewritten document or 2) for ASCII art. (Again, back in the 70s, you could print out cheesecake pictures on a few fanfold pages.) But the built-in mono fonts are fine for those.

Publisher fonts *are* turned off. I'm using Ember bold as the regular font. As noted earlier in this thread, turning off publisher font only allows selection of the main body font. It doesn't do anything to change any custom fonts used in other parts of the book.
