If you plan to publish, you would need to read the font copyright carefully to make sure that distributing the fonts was legal.
I guess you'd also need to check that embedded font epubs worked correctly on a good range of the most popular readers. I can vouch for the fact they work on all the readers I own.

Font embedding doesn't work properly on the Kobo. They botched it big time. If you put the font-family directive in body, it doesn't display. That is how most publishers do it to activate the main embedded font(s).
