If Sigil shows the fonts and they're not installed on your machine everything went well. I.e., there's nothing for you to do.

The instructions are still valid, even for the latest version, Sigil 0.9.0. What part do you have problems with?

Click the large green checkmark button on the toolbar. If the fonts aren't used, FlightCrew will display the following message:
Code:
Warning OPF resource in manifest not reachable : This resource is present in the OPF <manifest>, but it's not reachable (it's unused). near column
Also check your book with the EPUB Online Validator.
Download ADE and open your book with it.

Follow the instructions in the online help.

For iBooks, you'll also need to add a non-standard .xml file.
