So, that's
a no, then?

Like once someone was talking about how awful Islam was & quoted a bunch of things from the Quran. Some of the things she said went against what little bit I know of Islam so I looked up the quotes & found that in context they all had completely different meanings than the way she was using them.
So I commented about what those passages actually meant, I don't remember all of them but an example I do remember was something that, out of context, made it sound like "women are property" but in context it was telling men that it was their duty to protect their women & was essentially saying "You'd do all this to protect your property, your women (wives, daughters, sisters) are your most valuable property & you need to do more to protect them"
But someone who was agreeing with her followed me around & commented on just about every post I made that I am Islamic & couldn't be trusted. Even though On her comment I had relied & explained that I wasn't & that I just looked up the things the OP quoted to find their context.

I'm pretty sure
I was talking fonts, but...hey.

That's fair, most of the time I think it definitely isn't necessary, but font files are small so having a couple in a book, even if just for things like titles, seems reasonable to me.

Unhunh. They're not that small once they start procreating.

So, as I said, I don't have eBook versions of these books, I read them in Paperback years ago. I'm not even sure they exist in eBook format.

Well, heck, maybe there IS a God, after all, then?

For the use case I was referencing Audio Books wouldn't be a problem because you'd just have a different reader for the different Narrator/Font.

Maybe. Who is to say? You could have the same guy, or gal, reading the same book, narrative, dialogue...I mean, if a book is so poorly written that it can't stand alone, with dialogue tags, but needs all this extra foofery...sheesh.
