I just wanted to comment on your font-naming scheme... I discovered recently while trimming my TTFs for embedding that my Sony Reader appears to use some of its internal memory as a font cache... In one epub, I had deleted all non-numbers from a font... A few days later, I scratched my head wondering why that font was not functioning in my second epub... when I realized that the numbers were displaying just fine. I did a hard-reset of the Reader and the second epub displayed that font just fine... I didn't experiment to see if the font cache works on the file name or the proper font name inside the TTF file but I wonder... (and I can guarantee the cache doesn't work based on your CSS naming).
