If it's Amazon, they can't, at least, not in the "modern" era. Not for fonts. If you even attempt to stipulate the body font, in any number of ways--set it on the paragraph tag, set it in a body div, set it in a bodysection div, etc., Amazon will just flat-out nuke it right outta de book. Like magic.

So, that's a no-fly-zone. That does not mean that there aren't pre-2014 or 2015 files out there with specified, stipulated body fonts. Ironically, most of them are trade publisher files!

(And WHAT is with trade pubbed books today coming in Kindle with block-style, space-between paragraphs, for novels? I mean, talk about STEAM!)
