I have to disagree with embedded fonts being more reliable. On a Kindle, it's all or none. So you cannot embed font(s) not used for the body font and be able to use your choice of body font. That I find is a real problem.

Take a look at the book The Wind and the Willow made/posted by GrannyGrump. It uses some embedded fonts. You lose with Publisher Font on or off. If on, you get an ugly serif font and it off, you don't get the things that are supposed to be there.

So if you do use embedded fonts on a Kindle, you have to embed for everything. That doesn't work. In fact, it's very poor.
