If Apple really forbids embedded fonts then I think this truly sucks! In terms of typography, the iPad currently performs pretty poorly. Rumor has it though that the iPad will gain a font management system with iOS4 in fall, maybe then we will see changes to how typography is treated in iBooks as well?
Just update your iPhone to iOS 4 and play with iBooks and see what happens.
