Edit: Figured out fonts.
And while the font I placed in the SD/fonts folder shows in cr3's settings the font doesn't actually change when I choose it. Then I realized that no matter what font I picked nothing happens. lol one step foward two steps back.

Let me preface this comment by saying that I'm not an html/epub/mobi etc...or any kind of css expert...
As far as the TOC not appearing on Coolreader, I've seen it happen a few times. I can't recall exactly how I solved it but it involved the use of Calibre and/or Sigil. I do remember that if the TOC did not show in Sigil, then it would not show on Coolreader.
If you can't change the fonts on your book, take a look and make sure that your ebup doesn't contain embedded fonts. If I remember, CR doesn't play well with embedded fonts. There's a Calibre plugin called modify epub that will get rid of embedded fonts or you can go into the css and manually remove them.
For the dictionary, both fora and colordict work. Download either from the market (a 20-40mb file I think) and point coolreader to either. Also, open the dictionary as a separate app to see if it works independent of Coolreader.
Overall, TOC or other editing/layout quirks you find in coolreader that don't appear in other readers like aldiko/moon+ etc, I believe are a result of the individual books themselves and the fact that there's no standard epub formatting (eg: there are several ways to italicize a line of text etc...). I've noticed that even though Coolreader doesn't read as much of the css as reading apps that employ ADE standards like Aldiko, Mantano and Nook, it's a whole lot better than fbreader and Moon+. Coolreader I feel, gives the perfect balance of maximizing customization while maintaining the book's original look/feel.
There are several really nice threads pertaining to all this on the Sony forum.
