IANAL, but isn't most of that unenforceable in the US? Typefaces have their own weird place in IP law which is different from copyright.

IANAL but the distributed files are software and I do not interpret that section to be unenforceable. If you agree to the EULA then subset the font and serve it on your website it's pretty straightforward to enforce.

AIUI in the US you can't do much to protect the visual shape of the font e.g. I can hand-trace your letters and make my own font and do whatever I want without issue.
