Usually they are part of the document in the way a garage is a part of

Sounds like fair use to me, which is an affirmative defense against
copyright claims. Now, whether or not a font is *licensed* for a
particular use may matter, and may be germane in a specific case. That
is not a copyright issue at all. But IANAL so YMMV.

Also worth mentioning that if you do that and store it as a jpg image,
you are using a lossy compression. that might not matter in Suzanne's
case in point, but in other situations it might, so I note it here.
