As I said in the OP, I'm saving the fonts to the working directory, then loading the exact same font files back into Sigil. So I don't think Indesign is obfuscating or encrypting the fonts. At least not in a way that sticks to the font files. But it must be sending some code to the epub to obfuscate them.

Also, as a subscriber to Adobe Suite, I have full use to distribute their commercial fonts, and most of the other fonts I use are free for commercial use so there is no font stealing going on here, but anyway that is way off topic.

You should now be able to use KindlePreviewer to view/convert your epub with embedded fonts.
I just checked and it says "Use IDPFs Method" in a file I haven't fixed, and "None" in a corrected version, so that is a much better workaround. Thanks!
