Since nobody else has commented: I've done this with Delphi in Windows, 
embedding a (bitmap) font as a resource. Quite frankly I didn't find it 
entirely satisfactory since if for some reason the OS though that the 
binary was locked it couldn't access the resource and fell back to a 
"close equivalent".

I'm not sure that the same can be done in a portable fashion because of 
the X/unix case where the binary and the fonts are potentially stored on 
different hosts. It /might/ be possible to handle that particular case 
by making the app look like an X font server, but that would clearly 
fail if there was already one set up.
