This is a know problem with Qt's embedded WebKit. Font variants are not displayed. Regular fonts should display fine, and even font variants on some occasions, but usually not. This is the major reason why font embedding is currently not supported in Sigil. I was hoping they'd fix it for the 4.6 release of Qt, but no such luck.

Sometime after Sigil 0.2.0, I'll be forking Qt and working on this directly.

Just FYI, If you're working with InDesign too, bear in mind it doesn't report the fonts it embeds in epubs in the manifest section of the OPF. And then Sigil doesn't load those fonts during import, since they're not declared.

I just took a look at your "obvious.epub" and yeah, the font files are not reported in the OPF manifest. Sigil then displays the font in Book View but only because it can find the font on the system. The font is not in the book. You then export to epub and open it in ADE, and ADE can't load the font because it isn't there, and ADE doesn't check the system for missing fonts.

From what I hear, InDesign's current epub export functionality is pretty terrible.
