I probably should have said Microsoft's licensing rather than Microsoft's copyright.
Before embedding a font, you need to check the licensing to see if you are allowed to do so, if a license needs to be purchased, etc. Quite a few free fonts use licenses that allow you to embed them in your ebooks but again, you should double check before hand. That's one reason Charis SIL is rather popular as a embedded font.
In the case of the fonts your epub referenced, they would only work on a Windows computer with those fonts installed. Windows computers are pretty miniscule percentage of the devices on which people read ebooks so if using a specific font is important to you, you should embed it.
