Eg.  
Name a horn player who can't read all clefs and transpose on sight from 
one tonality to another.
I can't read all clefs fluently nor do I know anyone who can, for the same reason that violinists (generally speaking) can't read from horn in Eb parts - simply because we are never called upon to do it.
 
I can however transpose all keys at sight and without problem.  In order to read the different clefs (something which I have never been called to do in 30 years playing) I would do it by relating it to a transposition.
 
The only clefs which I come across are treble and bass (which are standard) and once when I was asked to play a trombone part, tenor.  I once, when I was 18, borrowed a viola part in alto clef to give myself something to do in a youth orchestra rehearsal.
 
All the best
