I've just updated to 0.7.1 from 0.6.0, mainly to get the italic text to display in "Book View" when working on epubs with embedded font sets. All the text is displayed oblique, even text that's supposed to be italic is rendered in slanted roman font rather than italic. This is with two different font families, though one doesn't have an italic font.

Correction: Italic text is being displayed in italic font, but it looks like it's rendered oblique in addition.

The epub I first opened was one created by ABBY FineReader from which I'd removed some unused fonts and cleaned with Pretty Print in Sigil 0.6.0. The original epub from FR displays correctly in "Book View" of Sigil 0.7.1 until I delete one of the unused fonts, then all the text displays oblique. All the epubs are displayed correctly in the newest Calibre(0.9.25.0) ebook-viewer.

I should add that this occurs in XP SP3.
