Hello Simon, No one here or on any Apache web site can provide legal advice. See https://opensource.com/article/17/11/open-source-and-fonts for a layman's discussion of font licensing. What that article seems to say is that whether you can include the font when you distribute a document depends on the license. For example, this Microsoft site ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-redistribution-licensing) says you may not copy or redistribute their fonts, though they can be embedded for certain uses. It seems you will have to think about just how your writing will be distributed and then read the font licenses and check with a lawyer if necessary.
