As of InDesign CS4 (6.0.2), fonts will be mangled, but embedding/not is an
export
option.
AFAIK, there's no registered mimetype for OTF. DocBook-XSL calls them
'font/opentype'. 'font/ttf' is another made-up one that seems semi-common. Good
luck
searching for them, though...

OPF 2.0 on embedded fonts (note should/coulds):
http://idpf.org/2007/ops/OPS_2.0_final_spec.html
"""
Fonts could be included in multiple formats by using a list of files for the
src
descriptor; the first supported format should be used. At least one file in
OpenType
format should always be included in the list. It is advisable for a Reading
System to
support the OpenType font format, but this is not a conformance requirement; a
reading system may support no embedded font formats at all.
"""
and this impressively useless sentence:
"""
Any font files included in an OPS Publication must be included in the OPF
manifest
with appropriate media type.

It's annoying that InDesign will always mangle them even if my license allows
unmangled distribution (I just used
a font that specifically allows @font-face usage on the web).
I think I'll simply support unmangled fonts for this ticket and defer the
mangled implementation for now.

Nearly 100% of current O'Reilly EPUBs include an unmangled font with a
permissive
license, if you want a test case. That said, I don't actually _like_ that font,
but
am forced to embed it because ADE only has support for ASCII.

In theory users will be able to disable the font by using the serif/sans-serif
controls now, as that will force the
document into the browser's current default for that family.
