italicisation issues still in 2.5
Hi. On my Glo I still have some issues with italicised fonts displaying as bold rather than italics. Seems to affect Avenir Next, Kobo Nickel and Gill Sans. Which I think is an improvement on 2.4, so a step in the right direction , and therefore will hopefully be fully resolved in the next release. I have a couple of follow on questions:

I believe others say this is not an issue with kepub.epub files and is only an issue with epub files? Can anyone confirm? (It should work with either).

Secondly, I think I read somewhere the renaming the file extension of an epub file to kepub.epub instead would mean the file is treated by the kobo as an kepub.epub. Is this correct? If so, does this mean that italicised text would displayed correctly if I renamed my epub files?

Thank you
