You can obfuscate the fonts, which will make them useless to the average user:

1. Select all fonts in the Font folder.
2. Right-click them and select Font obfuscation > Use Adobe's method.
3. Save the epub file.

Note that font obfuscation will not trigger the change asterisk in the Sigil menu bar. However, you can verify that it worked by unzipping the ePub file and double-clicking an obfuscated font. Windows will then tell you that it's not a valid font file.
