There's also this:

Yes. Embedded fonts can irritate readers, and that's if they don't get ripped out beforehand by Amazon, again assuming you have KDP in mind.

Alice, don't forget that on a Kindle, you HAVE to select the Publisher Font option before embedded fonts will be displayed. Most people won't do that or even think to do that so unless you have a nice big note in the eBook saying to do so because you have embedded fonts. Amazon's really bad idea to make the users have to select a font option to see embedded fonts means embedded fonts on a iIndle aren't all that useful. It would have been better if the Kindle defaulted to showing embedded fonts and let the user override.
