Remember as Hitch mentioned, if you try to use a body font in an ebook sent to Amazon, it will vanish like the disposasteins of yesteryear. Set a chapter header font, no problems.

On the last ebook I saw that attempted to get around this, the author styled each paragraph with the embedded font using style= and it didn't work.
