Sigil or eInk readers rarely don't show properly embedded valid fonts. It's more likely that you've made a mistake. For example, a common mistake is to forget to link stylesheets to .xhtml files. You can test whether an .xhtml file has a linked stylesheet by right-clicking it and selecting Link Stylesheets... If you don't see stylesheets with checkmarks, your stylesheets weren't linked.
Also many eInk readers and ePub apps have a Publisher Fonts option that needs to be enabled to see embedded fonts. Some very old apps and eInk Readers, e.g. Kindle DX, don't support embedded fonts at all.
It might also be an OSX issue. AFAIK, some OSX fonts have a special format and can't simply be copied to Windows or Linux machines. If you embed one of them, they might not be displayed by eInk readers and ebook apps.
Also iBooks usually requires a
special non-standard .xml file for embedded fonts.
