We only use 3 different fonts: 1 serif and 2 sans serif. And of course there are all the related variants (italic, bold, bold italic, and so on). Of course, if you count them all, the total is quite high, so we will probably get rid of the condensed sans serif versions, which will reduce the total number – and the total size – by more than 40%.
In any case, we have always used quite a wide variety of fonts since the publication of our very first ebook 11 years ago, and it has never been a problem to produce ePub2, Apple and Kindle ebooks.

We have some very specific typographical rules. For example, one of these states that the very first line of text after a blank line should not be indented, and our CSS programmer suggested to use the <article> tag to manage this kind of layout and maintain full compatibility with WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility requirements.
