(Thanks to Nicolas).

The final .ttfs need to allow for embedding and reuse. This is done by setting the fsType entry in the os2 table to be 0x0000. Documentation on the field can be found at:

  http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opentype/index_os2.html#fst

And this can be found in Fontforge: Element-> Font Info -> OS/2 ->
Embeddable (or 'os2_fstype' in the Python module).

Not making this change may restrict the use of the fonts on certain software or systems which check the value of this field.
