I'm optimising an e-book for kindle readers and I would like to know if there's a way to force the title & subtitles font as default on the kindle reader. I NEVER embed a body text because I know everyone can choose whatever font and size they like, but for artistic reasons I think it makes sense to embed the chapter titles, subtitles and drop caps letter with the original font of the book. The default Bookerly looks great for the text but not so good for heading and subs.

I know how to embed fonts inside the EPUB, AZW3 or KFX but what I'm asking is if/how I can specify in the file to have kindle using the "Font Editor", so the book is displayed immediately as intended without the user having to switch to "Editor font" in the settings. Does someone know if this is possible? Thanks
