InDesign will only embed fonts if the appropriate permission bits are set, but the majority of fonts allow PDF embedding (which is not the same thing as embedding in an epub) and so will allow this. An increasing number of fonts allow @font-face embedding though, and there are threads about this in the epub forum.

I guess the source of my confusion is that we already tried embedding the fonts with InDesign using the "include embeddable fonts" option, and then when I opened up the .epub file to take a look at the file, there weren't any fonts in the Fonts directory. I got an error message when tried embedding the fonts that some fonts weren't embeddable, and then I read that InDesign will only embed opentype fonts, but the Symbol font is only a truetype font.
I guess I can add the truetype font after using Sigil... but now you've all got me worried that Apple will reject our files if I embed a font. It's probably safest just to assume that I don't NEED to embed the font since the spade, heart, diamond and club glyphs are supported.
I'm even more confused than I was when I started this thread...
