If the small-caps in that book look OK, recycle her CSS.

After 4 hours of testing here is where it stands:
I created a single page word document using calibri fonts (including small-caps). I embedded the fonts in the document, then used Calibre to convert it to epub. I had the files embedded and in the Calibre Reader & Sigil small-caps were OK. Not in the nook (even when I check the "Publisher Defaults" box).
I also tried downloading the regular, italic, and small caps files for a font called "thesans-light". Replaced them as the embedded font using Sigil. Again, it look fine in Sigil and the Calibre reader, but the nook not only did not show the small-caps, the fonts are so light they can barely be seen.
It is now minutes from midnight and I am tired. I will work with the coding some more later. As I said earlier I am familiar, but still learning how to do this. The instructions for embedding multiple fonts (regular, italic, small-caps) are confusing - mainly because there are multiple ways to do things and as many opinions as to which is the proper way. I'll update this afterwards.
Thanks again for all the input.
