On the Kobo though, it does indeed render the previously bold italic in regular italic.

When I would add new fonts my readers, because I like thicker fonts because of my crappy eyesight, my regular and bold normal fonts are the same, which is the bold font; and my regular and bold italic fonts are the same, which again is the bold italic font. I simply make copies of the bold fonts and rename them as the normal versions.

When I switch the book with the new adobe code in the styles with a font that I added, it of course can't find a thinner font variety to use and so that text remains bold. However, it's no longer italics. Nothing else was changed other than adding the one line to the style used in the body of text.

Kobo's are just quirky when it comes to bold and italics.
