Modern Kindle software never ignores embedded fonts...they are used when properly referenced.
OTOH, if there is a
font-family attribute in the styling for the
body element, this is considered a "publisher font", and the Kindle uses it by default as the "body font". When reading a book with a "publisher font", "Publisher Font" is added to the list of fonts to choose from, and the user can switch to/from "Publisher Font" just like any other font in the list.
A book sent to Amazon via KDP (and possibly even Send to Kindle) has extra constraints about fonts during the conversion process, but the Kindle itself perfectly adheres to the CSS spec when encountering
font-family pointing to an embedded font.
