See this post for details, but it's done by having the CSS in the epub book point off to a font on the Reader's local disk. As the epub is fundamentally just a zip file & the CSS file a text file, it doesn't require many tools (and even fewer if you use Calibre to do the conversion.)

If you point it to a folder below "/Data/", you're pointing it to the part of the disk that it exports as the USB drive, so you can create a 'fonts' folder (alongside the 'database' folder we're familiar with) and use something like "/Data/fonts/my-font.ttf".

Not as such, but this is a 'per-book' thing, rather than an 'across-reader' solution.
