What's especially weird: when I was playing with a T1, I found that when I changed fonts from, say, Original to Amasis, the italic would disappear. But then, when I changed the font-size (not changing fonts, still Amasis, just a different font-size), the italic would suddenly re-appear. Then if I changed the font-size back, the italic disappeared again.

And then, when switching from, say, Original to Verdana, the italic would remain. But when I closed the book and re-opened it, the italic would disappear!

ADDED: This is all within the same book, so it's not a matter of different epubs using different formatting.

The only way I've been able to use my own fonts is to physically embed them in the epub.
Can you still put a folder of your own fonts in the root directory then add @font-face {src: url(res:///Data/fonts/MyFont.ttf); } to the epub's css? Or do you have to embed the fonts in each individual epub for it to work on the T1?
