All I do is embed the font in the EPUB, format the headings (or other special text) to use that font, and then convert to KF8 or KFX. The Kindle will then use the embedded font with no need to change any settings.

The only time you need to select "use publisher font" is if the embedded font is used for "body text". For Amazon, "body text" seems to mean "text that has its font defined at the html or body level". I have formatted entire chapters using an embedded font and the Kindle displayed it fine, while displaying the rest of the "body text" using whatever the user picked.
