The Cybook supports MOBI and has user installable fonts. The Hanlin V3 allows user installable fonts, but not for MOBI (they are working on this). The Sony's don't support MOBI but they support fonts embedded in the ebook.
I purchased a book from Amazon that has a different font than that prevalent on the majority of titles. It's The Skinner by Neal Asher.
