I always think that embedding fonts for each and every one of epubs I have is waste of storage space.

And default font the viewer app is using is not that easy on eyes.

Now I wonder. Is it possible for one to save the fonts outside epub, maybe somewhere in the nearby folder named "fonts", and put some lines in the css or anywhere in epubs, manifesting that I use those fonts in that directory for the contents.

Is this technically possible or making no sense at all?

thank you.
