Calibre uses the QWebView component from Qt, and it has problems with embedded font variants. It doesn't display them. So if your book has an embedded font in several variants--normal, bold, italic--it will only ever display the normal version.
Sigil uses the same Qt component and therefore has this issue as well. It's the main reason why font embedding is still absent from Sigil... there's little point trying to embed a font if you can't preview all the font variants.
ADE is (sadly) your best benchmark for embedded fonts.
