Embedding fonts is simply a bridge too far for me.
I do all those things too, except I make the text justified instead of left-aligned. Embedding fonts is actually the easiest operation of them all, more so because my edited books are all in the azw3 format and I have to re-convert them for the Nook anyway, to epub. Embedding is handled during conversion.

It took me far longer to find the right base font size for my Nook books, because I don't like the default sizes. On Kindles I use the FONT_RAMP hack.
