Well, what I'm not clear on is where the "slanting" is occurring; in Sigil and Calibre only? I've found neither very good indicators of what will really happen in an actual ePUB.
Vis-a-vis the smallcap comment: Unless there's a small-cap font variant embedded with it, many, many fonts will not work properly as small caps, and the CSS small-cap works almost never at all. And don't even get me started on ligatures, which are a total nightmare.
And in this instance, Wombat is right--using ADE 1.7 won't give you a reliable look at what ePUB readers will now display, you should be using ADE 2.0, or if you can't manage that, try Firefox's free ePUBreader. Or...hell, there are dozens of free e-readers out there that are actual ereaders, not tools like Calibre and Sigil that will help you see what your books will actually look like. If you're going to try to make ePUBs for any consumption other than your own, you'll definitely need the tools.
