Because than you have an implementation that is broken for all the non-Linux people who will mostly have fonts installed that don’t allow for embedding (like Leonard said) and will automatically be violating licences just by using the implementation.
So I think checking is a good idea. A font database seems a hassle, isn’t it possible to use these permission bits to find out if you are allowed to embed a font?
