The books that don't do italics and bold properly all use classes. I seem to have problems wth bold more frequently than italics. I have noticed similar behavior to pssquirrel. If you change the font size (or change back to original and then back to Amasis) you will see the bold & italics come back. If you close the book and then reopen, you'll lose the bold/italics but can change the font size to get them back.

I have read 2 books so far with embedded fonts (both had CharisSIL), and they worked fine.
Hi bookworm_girl,

I have attached a test epub which has paragraphs using:
  • plain <i> and <b>
  • <i class="..."> and <b class="...">
  • plain <em> and <strong>
  • <em class="..."> and <strong class="...">
  • <span class="...">
If you have time I wonder if you'd mind trying the techniques you posted to see if you can come up with a sequence of actions which works every time for you, including returning to a previously opened book.

Initially, I thought I'd found one but it turned out not to be consistently repeatable.

For info when the bold/italics were working correctly for me, they were correct for all 5 of the markup options. I suppose the fact that it's such a small epub may have some effect.
