Huh, I worked it out. I wanted to try installing the font directly on the Kindle in the fonts folder to see whether I could at least select it as the main font for the book and noticed a new 'publisher font' option I couldn't remember seeing before. I selected that and the Kindle then used the font embedded in the ebook for the chapter H1s and the Kindle courier font for the part H1s as set in the css.
So it seems if you open an ebook with an embedded font on the kindle:
1) the kindle disables all font choices set within the ebook -- even those built-in to the kindle that would otherwise be respected if no fonts were embedded -- unless
2) you manually tell the kindle to use the 'publisher font'
Seems a bit strange. I wonder how many of my other ebooks I've read 'vanilla' that actually have custom fonts embedded that were ignored since I didn't explicitly tell the kindle to use the 'publisher font' for the book.
