Simply add a template like this to your custom XSL file for epub:

<xsl:template name="manifest.fonts">
<xsl:element name="item" namespace="{$opf.namespace}">
<xsl:attribute name="id">some-unique-id</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="href">path/to/font.ttf</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="media-type">application/x-font-ttf</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="item" namespace="{$opf.namespace}">
<xsl:attribute name="id">some-unique-id2</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="href">path/to/font2.otf</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="media-type">application/x-font-ttf</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Attribute "id" can contain any string you like, it just needs to be
unique within the manifest file. Attribute "href" is the path to the
font file relative to the manifest file. Attribute "media-type" is MIME
type of the font file. Make sure to set the value correctly if you use
other font formats than TTF.
