Anyway, I guess this is off-topic for this thread.
Sorry, I originally missed that question, I was posting at the same time I think.

But no, renaming the fonts isn't the problem, I only do the renaming for fonts that I add.

When I added the original css line to eliminate the hyphens that caused the bold italics to show as thinner italics, it was always using the Kobo fonts that come with the reader, and those are not renamed (I probably would if I knew how to get to them though!). I can adjust the thickness of those fonts with the Kobo settings, so it's really odd because it seems like it's ignoring the thickness setting with that css line added.

When using a font I added is when it would appear in bold only and not italics. If renaming the fonts as I do were a problem, the italics wouldn't show in the first place, but they do always show correctly in all books.

And when I use the 2nd method cybmole came up with of "body {adobe-hyphenate: none;}", that doesn't mess up the bold italics in either the Kobo included fonts or my added fonts, they all display correctly.
