Along with Paul Wise's recommendation about making the effort to properly read and comply with the licensing terms of any fonts that you wish to include in your product/service, I will simply add that you should look for fonts under licenses explicitly allowing bundling, embedding and with clear sources and extended sources requirements when modified (like the OFL). Many of these fonts are available in the Debian archive in main, but some of them may cause problems with the scenario you have in mind: you can check the precise licensing details (along with upstream links) for each font currently in Debian using our weekly font review: http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/ Depending on your need you can also commission designers to design and engineer an open font for you.
