Embedding code...well, you can thank C's property of allowing pointers to functions for allowing that. Otherwise, the compression algorithms in JPEGs would not be possible since well, how would the operating system run that code?

JPEGs do not contain embedded code. Normal TTF Truetype fonts do contain bytecode that is interpreted but AFAIK only old-style Windows bitmap fonts contain code that is directly run by the OS, and even that only when the user is trying to run the font file as an executable.
