Thanks Catire for the quick response. A few follow-up comments:

I mean that I don't embed the fonts, but that I declare my fonts in the CSS in the same way that I would declare fonts on a web page. For example:

p.TF {
      font-family: "Times", "Times New Roman", "Palatino", "Minion", serif;
}
p.H1 {
      font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif";
}
span.suitSymbol {
      font-family: "Symbol", sans-serif;
}

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is a suit symbol?

A spade, a heart, a diamond or a club (Contract Bridge terms). In HTML, they are written as: ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

3) Do you actually have a choice in the matter, what I mean is are you going to sell your epubs through a third party vendor? Do they even allow you to use embbeded fonts (as far as I know apple does not).

As far as I know, we just need them to pass epubcheck version 1.05.

I could be wrong on that though
