Hi delphin,

I just thought I'd mention that I also use a PRS650 and Bold and BoldItalic don't work for me in the NimbusMod embedded Alice epub you posted earlier. They just default to the non-Bold variation. So it's not just the Kobo. I made sure to disable PRSPlus css before testing so as not to confuse the issue.

I've attached a screencap of a slightly tweaked first page to demo the problem. The same paragraph is coded to be Regular, Italic, Bold and BoldItalic in that order.

I look forward to you completing the NimbusMod set, it looks promising. Keep up the good work
