Must be my sense of lazy that makes it so hard. Indesign'll embed JaneAusten.ttf as part of the package, and that's still about all it does "easily". Check the embed fonts box, and they are there in the resultant epub. Maybe I'm just inept, but I can't get mobicreator to do that.

I've been holding my breath for Calibre to do that, 'cause I just hate handbuilding the epub, 'cause then I have to be intelligent, thoughtful, and responsible. Yuck.
