As I see, when converting, there's option "fonts" in styling tab. However even when I use it, when I edit ebook (after converting), then I see that fonts wasn't removed. It only removes "font-family" from some css, but not all. However maybe it's enough?
Btw, when I edit book, there's also "Manage fonts" and option to "remove selected fonts" and it actually works - it removes all embeded fonts. But is it safe to do it this way?
Which option should I use? Or maybe both are fine?

I deal with fonts manually. I delete the font for the mail text. I'll use the one I prefer. If any of the other fonts are a sans-serif font, I'll remove them and change the font-family to
font-family: sans-serif;. If any of the other embedded fonts are a series font, they go without the need for another font to take their place. If any fonts are specialized such as a handwriting font, I'll keep it.
In the CSS, for the fonts I'm deleting, I remove the @font-family and the font-family for those fonts. If there are classes in the CSS that are just for changing the font and I've dumped the font, I'll delete the entire class.
I will also remove unused classes in both the HTML and CSS. Also, when I am done editing the eBook, I will also subset the fonts if there are any remaining.
