An embedded font with subsetting would be perfect for this use case, but I'm pretty sure the average MR reader knows more about eBook formatting than most of the people actually doing it for a living.
Some here certainly seem better.
It can't be the main job in some publishers or they'd get better? Work experience kids?
Though I know 15 yo that can do better.

Bold is a valid point.
