True that. But I've found that some fonts that don't work well with eInk do work fine with the iPad.

Dear God, man!! Did you really just suggest that a Sony ereader is somehow a prerequisite for just learning how to embed/use fonts with Sigil and ePubs? Have you absolutely no shame? Don't forget to tell them they must burn a Kindle in effigy as part of the ritual.
This is ePub we are talking about. Kindles don't do ePub. The process would have to be ePub > KF8 before loading and previewing. It's easier to load the ePub. Besides, unless you know how to edit a font's metrics (I've recently learned how) you might not get a result you like. You can adjust the line height in an ePub via CSS. But you have to edit the font metrics to do the same for KF8.
