I've run across the same issue multiple times where fonts that are not standard on my ereader are specified as if they existed on every device.

Of the non-embedded fonts you mention, Baskerville, Futura, and Palatino are available on Apple iOS/iPadOS (probably MacOS but didn't bother booting up the VM to find out) while Droid Serif is the only one available by default on an Android platform. Merriweather, Malibar, and Sorts Mill Goudy are web/installable fonts.

Those fonts are among the ones I toss out. Great Vibes if it is only used for chapter titles and drop caps gets dumped. League Gothic is a dark sans-serif font and much like Great Vibes, tends to get tossed in favour of simple sans-serif unless there is a good reason for keeping it.
