Alter path if necessary.

A.
That is not what it says in the thread about favorite e-reader fonts. People have posted examples of Alice in Wonderland in normal, italic, bold, and bold-italic. The latter two are rendered as normal or italic font without any bolding.

It appears delphin agreed and was going to work on a new version but has not visited the forums in a few months.

ETA: the post I linked seems to suggest it's only a Kobo issue, it's not. Delphin later says that he was mistaking larger font headings for bolded NimbusMod, which does not work. People posted workarounds involving using different fonts for bold and bold-italic, but actual NimbusMod would have been awesome
