  • Courier - Text that printed or displayed on a screen

Something I find an irritant when it comes to ebook formatting is combining a blank line between the paragraphs with a first-line indent. One is fine, the other is fine, but when you combine them one of them is redundant.
Just use sans-serif for headings.
No need to embed a body font. Time New Roman is terrible for this.
For handwritten notes, just use italics.
For text printed or displayed on a screen, use monospace.

That way you don't need any embedded font that don't work and don't look good and for eInk will be terrible.
