That's another wonderful feature of QtWebKit. I've seen epub books that show the main embedded font variant in Sigil on Windows and Mac just fine, but display with a default font on Linux. I've seen other books that display their embedded fonts + variants on Mac just fine, and fail on Windows and Linux. Also those that work on Linux, but fail on the other two platforms.

Still haven't found any logic to it. The QtWebKit font loading problems are more extensive than just not showing font variants.

This was all with the same version of Sigil and QtWebkit.

So the font issues are directly related to the platform on which QtWebKit is running... Macs seem to have the least problems (but still have quite a few), probably because QtWebKit defers some operations to the system Webkit on Macs (but that's an educated guess).
