I think the idea is for the font used for main body text to be changable, but for other special-purpose fonts to remain fixed.

Here is an example: the publisher has embedded a handwriting font. When I select "Publisher Default" Georgia is used for the main body text, and the handwriting font used for journal entries:

Publisher Default

But when I select "Amasis" on the device there are two things that can happen, depending on how the publisher has structured the ePub:

Only the main body text changes to Amasis (Good, IMO)

Both body and journal text change to Amasis (Bad, IMO)

(Edit: There is a third possibility, the worst one, which is that neither font changes.)
