It's pretty remarkable what kind of variation there is between reader apps and exactly how much attention they pay to CSS specifications. Moon+ Reader Pro seems to come closest. If you're not getting what you want, make sure to check Settings > Miscellaneous > Disable CSS styles. You can switch it on and off in general, plus there are settings for 8 specific CSS categories that can be toggled, too. There's a toggle for "Use embedded fonts in book" too, but as you all mention, it doesn't appear to be precisely followed.

Has anyone emailed the dev about this? He's pretty responsive. The reader has its shortcomings and bugs, but it's by far the best overall implementation I've seen with regard to overall support of the epub format. It's probably the only reader I've used that makes a serious attempt at being a comprehensive tool.

I use Lithium and ReadEra, too, though rarely for other than certain informational purposes. ReadEra ignores CSS altogether but has the best Contents screen. Lithium at least partly renders CSS and the pages tend to look good, but it lacks features and seems to only be an occasional project for the dev. I've installed probably 10 other readers, none of which were worth bothering with at all.
