  ePub is just a whole bunch of HTML, some metadata, and CSS. So, you have the same rules as with any HTML page.
  
  1. You can't force any browser to display a page the way you want it. Your "fixed layout" is at best a suggestion.
  2. If you specify a typeface, and that typeface is not available on the client device, it will be ignored. You can ensure that the font *is* available by packaging it in your ePub, but you'd better be sure you have a legal right to do so! If you aren't including the font in the ePub, then you have no way to force the client to use it.
