bobcdy:

If the gist here is to use a font in an eBook, and preclude someone down the line from being able to install/use the font without licensing same, simply use Toxaris' Fontshrinker or Calibre's Font subsetting. This will create much smaller font files, and at the same time, presents an incomplete fontset to the downline user.

If you use the Adobe font obfuscation method, you can run into other issues (for example, if you intended to use the ePUB to create a MOBI file).

FWIW.
