Throwing the font file into a zip file renamed .ePub is distribution by any common-sense assessment... and will almost certainly be perceived that way by lawyers.

That makes sense.

Editable fonts allow embedding. None of the permission types listed permit redistribution. Redistribution licenses might be obtainable, but would almost certainly be costly.

I meant redistributing the document, presumably with the fonts embedded in a way in which the end user can't extract them.

Furthermore the "permission" field in a font is not a legal contract or agreement... do not simply assume it is accurate, but rather seek confirmation of the font's legal status from the foundry/licensor.

I got the info from Microsoft, and the link you provided for Adobe has basically the same definitions of rights as the equivalent Microsoft site (the fonts I want to use are made by Microsoft).
