It got on my nerves so much that I felt I needed to fix this - a task far beyond my capabilities unless it was very easy to do, implying that the bug is more stupid than a sane person would imagine.
It is. I renamed the italic font -Bold.ttf and the bold one -Italic.ttf. Now italics are rendered correctly, but bold is rendered in italics now too (which is far less annoying for me than bold instead of italics...)
I'll play with it a bit more, but listen, Kobo: This really should be easy to fix.

The font sub style selection seems to be based on the font ID. And that is why two of your renamed fonts are displayed in one sub style (italics).
When I've 'doctored' my own sideloaded fonts with FontLab Studio and Kobo is not displaying them correcty I know that the font ID is the problem and forgot to update that part.
See, my previous post

And yes, it is really easy to fix (by Kobo).
