omskillet:
One last note--when you license a font for "commercial use," it frequently does not include
redistribution, which, if you have not subsequently subsetted the font,
is what is required for licensing without any issues for ePUBs, where the entire font goes forth merrily with each sale. When you license fonts, for ebooks, make sure that redistribution rights are included in the license. Otherwise, you may find that when foundries say 'commercial rights,' they only mean for print, not for distributing the entire font file over and over. Adobe in particular is downright cranky about this. ;-)
I recommend you try subsetting the font in your ePUBs, which is then again subset in Kindle via KindleGen--it's the safest route, particularly with commercially-licensed fonts.
Hope that helps.
