The font being used by Calibre viewer is indeed Times New Roman, despite me having the sony Dutch Roman properly installed on my system; if css rules are being followed, shouldn't they go in order if the first one isn't usable/available?
Is that the css inside the book or the "user css" of calibre viewer? The second is what I was asking about.

Then, one should make sure the font names specified are the correct ones, in the case of embedded fonts they should match the names given in the @font-face, for system-installed fonts, it could be anything.

But I can tell you calibre (0.7.0) can work with embedded fonts, as the attached screenshot shows. The title and drop-cap fonts are embedded in the ePUB, and they are not installed in this computer. If you are worried about embedding an un-obfuscated version of a commercial font, try with a free font instead and post a sample file, please.
