That depends how it's implemented. And a bit on how far the format's been defined.
It should be possible to have a reader for ePUBs that allows you to over-ride any of the font choices in the ebook, and with a bit of luck, also identify the body copy font for you.
Embedded fonts are a plus for books with characters that aren't in most fonts. How about The Hobbit with an embedded runes font, or a maths books with a mathematical symbols font. Or even just a nice display font for chapter headings and/or drop caps.
