I believe I may have found a problem witht he Advanced Font Control (or whatever it's called now) patch. It's supposed to work with OTF fonts and I just side loaded an OTF font and yes, you can appear to change the weight but the font won't change on screen when reading ePub.

The font is New York small. This is from Apple. It is available for free.

Edit: I found the problem. The fonts are set to use Postscript outlines and need to be changed to use Truetype outlines.
