Anyone have any ideas?
1) Don't use Adobe CC Fonts. They won't pass any normal upload for distribution as they are encrypted. Only use unencrypted fonts.

2) Use Indesign for paper, not ebooks. It's a terrible tool for ebooks. MS Word or LO Writer (extra Save As in docx) and then Sigil or Calibre. Make sure you use paragraph and heading styles sensibly.

3) There are no shortage of good free fonts for ebooks. Subsetting works and saves a lot on font used for headings.
