Is a comment in the stylesheet where the font is defined OK? That's what I usually do when the license requires attribution.

I feel like that would follow the intent behind a BSD license, but not that of a CC-BY.
Actually, what's the advantage of using a commercial, attribution license over a BSD?

None. Advertising clauses were removed from pretty much all BSD licenses as they are unworkable.

Yeah that's not normally sufficient for many of the CC licenses (not that I'm an expert), as they often require it to be shown on a visible (i.e. browsable) page, such as a 'credits' page or similar.

Yes, that's just fine. License updated accordingly.
