Besides, ARA General Belgrano sank with great loss of life in 1982.
But with a Kindle, most eBooks that have embedded fonts, the embedded fonts never/hardly get seen. The default is not for Publisher Default. However, with Kindle, if you don't do something with the base font, then the default is a poor reading experience.

With ePub, you can embed a font that's only used in some places and that font will be seen.
