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.

i knew it would be something obvious i had missed.
i don't know why i didn't think of right-clicking. thanks for the answer.

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.

oh wow. that will be BRILLIANT. i can't wait.

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.

...well, okay, i guess i *can* wait, then.
anyway, thanks very much for the partial support already, it makes a HUGE difference. the last time i was working with embedded fonts i would do all my editing in sigil, export the epub, unzip it, edit the .opf / .css by hand (i was smart enough to stick my bits of code in a .txt file so it was just a matter of copy / paste) and add the fonts folder, rezip, test, go back to sigil for further editing if necessary... lather rinse repeat. this way is much, much better.
