You've done it the best as is possible.
Yeah, because these function tags are built INTO the font--which 99% of the time, aren't. effectively, you may as well be embedding a proper SC face into the eBook, with now-unnecessary media-query fallbacks if it doesn't work.

And it still requires that you have a device that can work with embedded fonts and certain CSS.
