Add fonts to Calibre epub

I'm having trouble with embedding fonts in Calibre. The conversion from docx to epub is no problem. Everything looks fine in the Calibre viewer, even the fonts.
But I only get to see the choosen fonts in the Calibre viewer. Not in Adobe Digital Editions, not in the e-reader on my iPhone. It doesn't matter whether or not I choose to embed the fonts I used in my docx or not.
Nor does it seem to help if I install the fonts when setting up the conversion in Calibre.

So I decided to see what I could do with CSS. When I edit my epub in Calibre, there is no mention of fonts on the left side (were all the CSS stuff is shown). Again, whether I've embedded them or not during the setup for conversion. It simply says Fonts: 0.

In the stylesheet, both fonts I use, are mentioned (and again, whether I've embedded them or not during the setup for conversion). But are still only visible in the Calibre viewer. Not in ADE or on my phone.

I've also tried it with a docx without the choosen fonts, hoping I could add the fonts when editing the epub.

And I can't install the font families. I looks like it does, I can choose and add them, but they don't appear in the list.
I'm using two Google fonts, so it should be working.

How do I add fonts to the Font stylesheet mentioned on the left side of the edit screen? How do I make the fonts visible in other readers beside Calibre?

Hopefully some of you have the solution for me!
