If you subset and scamble it, it is the same thing as including it in PDF which is mostly allowed. The problem is that if you sell that EPUB (or PDF for that matter), you may need some additional license (e.g. see language on this page: http://www.itcfonts.com/About/Embedding.htm). Licenses are not technology or format-based, but usage-based.
