Because what you posted on screenshots from Justread is a default font.
Yes, but the point of this test was to show that JustRead should be able to show those fonts because the CSS tells it to. Readest and Calibre ebook viewer are able to show those in their designated fonts, so why isn't JustRead able to do the same? Under "Original" font it says that it's the "book's own font". So I thought JustRead would follow the book's CSS since those fonts are in the app. Setting a font in the app settings loses the point of that test because now all sections are in the same font.

In your screenshot, you can even see that the numbers are showing how they should be displaying in Noto Sans compared to what I'm seeing on my phone when Noto Sans is selected. While doing my tests, I discovered that setting Publisher Style to off displays the numbers correctly in the fonts I was having problems with. When you took that screenshot, was Publisher Style set to off in your settings?

I even edited the epub so the CSS is as simple as it can be in case the CSS really was the issue.

I tested the same epub on Apple Books and it has the same behavior as JustRead in that it's not able to show the designated fonts unless you manually select it in the settings and it also has an xml rendering error in the third chapter.

However after I followed the instructions in this page and edited the epub again, Apple Books was at least able to display Verdana and Charter without manually setting it to those fonts since they're system fonts. JustRead just doesn't do any of this on my device despite all those fonts being in the app and/or a system font.

MapleRead doesn't have the XML rendering error or the different number display, but it still behaves differently when different fonts are set. I don't know why Readest doesn't have the same behavior, but it's been an interesting experiment.

3. Did you please, like I advised, restarted the app completely (I suppose fonts are added and selected, this is just to be sure)?
1. Yes, you can see the custom fonts in the screen recording I linked below.
2. Yes, see the attachment of my comparison with your screenshot and mine.
3. Yes, I've done this numerous times.

Here's a screen recording to demonstrate the issue with the same epub in JustRead, Readest, MapleRead, and Apple Books. The apps weren't running in the background before the demo.
