I am creating an interactive InDesign document. I am trying to save it out.

I have used the "Publish Online" option and it looks ok.

When I export it as a EPUB Fixed Layout the file looks great, to me but not to my client.
The fonts are jacked up on the client's end. I am using Trade Gothic LT (the client's corporate font).

Are there other ways to export the file for my client? How can I embed the fonts?

Any EPUB reader beyond Books on Mac or iOS is going to be troublesome, unfortunately.

While embedding is possible, your client may not have a license to use the font in ebooks. The font needs to be licensed in such a way as to not just allow use, but also distribution.

For example, here is Linotype's licensing page for Trade Gothic LT.

And what reader is your client using? Some epub readers will not understand embedded fonts, or at least, obfuscated/encrypted ones.
