I wanted to know if i embed fonts by using Sigil how can i validate it ? And one more stupid question is if i succeed in embedding fonts then 'll it display ebook properly on other devices like ipad, android phone, nook, etc. Is there any separate procedure (other than font embedding by using Sigil) to make my epub display properly with the font which i embed on different reading softwares and different readers?

If you want to test font embedding support on
proprietary EPUB variants , obtaining those devices is the only 100% way to be sure.
PC emulation only goes the first step in the test (PC's tend to have lots of RAM and higher resolution, COLOR displays). The acid test is always the final target.
Right now, I will guess that the will be exactly
0% chance that an embedded font will appear correctly
on ALL EPUB reading devices
Pick your main
Target Market and make it work there. Then try and make the fallback (no embedded font) look
decent.
