AFAIK, single or double quotes are only required, if the font name contains spaces.

If you haven't already done so, you also may want to validate your ePub in Sigil by clicking the green check mark symbol.

Also, just to be on the safe side, download the free MS Font properties extension. This will allow you to right-click your font to find out whether it can be legally embedded and whether it supports the Unicode range(s) that you need.

You can test whether your reader supports ePubs with embedded fonts with my simple Turkish test file from this thread. (Since ADE won't display all Turkish characters without embedded fonts, this is good test case.)

If all goes well, you should see a Turkish pangram with a couple of accented Turkish characters:

Pijamalı hasta yağız şoföre çabucak güvendi.

If some of them are displayed as question marks, the reader cannot handle embedded fonts:

Pijamalı hasta ya?ız ?oföre çabucak güvendi.

In that case, you might have to install additional fonts on your reader.

See also the How to embed fonts in ePub after Calibre thread for additional information.
