No, it doesn't have an embedded font; Mobi files don't support font embedded. It is just (although I say it myself) a properly-formatted eBook which, alas, many are not.
Thanks a lot, Harry. I'll be looking for more of your books. I really hate bad formatting -- to me, an ugly font, no em-dashes, no justification, no indented first lines, blank lines after every paragraph, or zillions of OCR typos ... well, with e-books like that, I'd just rather go for the dead tree versions.

But if the font isn't embedded in a MOBI file, and the device doesn't have the font installed, where does it come from when it displays this font??
