FontSquirrel indeed has a lot of nice fonts, but as far as I understand the licences, almost none of them can be used in ePubs. One of the licences states e.g.:
Quote:
You may embed the licensed fonts into any document you send to third parties. Such documents may be viewed and printed (but not edited) by the recipients.
Every ePub can be edited and everyone can extract the fonts. Or is it enough that in the book is written that it may not be edited?
