I installed ADE 2.0 on a different PC than I normally like to work at and I'm not seeing a difference from 1.7 in how it displays any epub I've looked at so far. I've disabled the FF epub reader because I found it a nuisance when I only want to download an epub.

The font has a small cap variant embedded; Calibre's ebook viewer is the only thing that will display them. Simulated small caps work in all the viewers.
Yes, many smallcaps will work on the viewers. Most will not work on the actual reading devices.

Honestly, Mods, I think that this thread should be moved to ePUB or Workshop, as it contains a lot of questions and discussion on issues that are unrelated to Sigil itself, e.g., smallcaps, and how fonts should be embedded in stylesheets.
