Have you tried right-clicking the Fonts folder in the Book Browser and selecting "Add existing items..."? That opens a dialog where you can select the files you want to add.
Yes, I need to start writing some documentation. I plan on starting very soon.
And font embedding will be officially supported when I figure out a way to query the system for the font files installed (plus some QtWebKit support). The user should be able to have a font drop-down box like in Word, only with just a "<add new font>" option for epubs with no fonts. Selecting that option would open a standard font selection dialog for the OS, and selecting a font should make Sigil pull it out of the system (and any font variants present, like bold, italic etc.), add it to the epub file and attach the required CSS to the file and the current selection.
But that will have to wait until QtWebKit supports font variants. Currently it won't display italic or bold, only the regular.
In 0.2.0 I've made it easier to do this by hand, but that's far from ideal.
