Minion, Garamond etc. contain glyphs for text fonts, but they're not selectable even if you have the stomach to wade into Calibre and fiddle with code. Again, I may be wrong.
But what I'm talking about is a purchased ebook. Again, as far as I know, I can't do anything with purchased ebooks on my device through Calibre - purchased books on my device don't even show up in Calibre when I plug the device in, so I don't see how I could do anything beyond changing the settings on the device itself. That's why I'm saying I'd prefer this option to be incorporated into device options. Which I realise is not a Calibre issue in any way.

Take a look at Kindles. They allow you to use your own choice of font. If the eBook has embedded fonts to make sure that certain font features work correctly, the user is still going to use his/her font choice. So when you are making an eBook, you have to design your book with the idea that the font being used won't have any special font features because in a lot of cases, the font used won't.
