Take for example Zelda's "Three Men in a Boat" (fontin embedded). The preface and the summary at the start of each chapter should be in italics. When you look at it in book view, it shows in normal (by the way, the same happens in Calibre's book viewer).
This has been present since the very first release of Sigil. It's tracked as issue #20 on the tracker. It's caused by a bug in QtWebKit.

Font variants won't display in the Book View, but they'll show up in Reading Systems when the epub is saved. So the epubs you make work fine.

Even though I reported this issue about two freaking years ago to Nokia, it seems that just a couple of days ago someone started working on it (at least it seems that way from the recent activity on the webkit tracker).
