You need a patch for this (Un-Force user font-family in KePubs).

Don't you need Publisher Font selected?

No. With the patch, it works the same way as in epubs.

But without this patch, you can use Publisher Default to see embedded fonts in KePub.

Here is the description of the patch.

The KePub reader uses a very heavy-handed method of setting the font selected by the user, overriding all fonts set by the publisher in the book unless "Publisher Default" is selected.
This patch lets the font-family set by the publisher in the KePub stylesheet override the font-family selected by the reader from the device in some cases, which allows a mix of user-selected and publisher-selected fonts. Alternatives 1-3 give increasing preference to the publisher-selected fonts.

Yes, but then you can't use your preferred font for body text.

That's true.
