Could you test if some long standing bugs are fixed now (or have at least improved?)

I have a question which is directly related to the main function of this device (reading) and it is about

Embedded fonts (part of the firmware/preinstalled fonts by Kobo)

1. are font sub families finally displayed correctly? Italics as italics, bold as bold, etc.

See this thread: No italics for generic sans-serif font family (fallback font)(+ post #501 in the same thread)

Please, test this for all embedded fonts for both kepub and regular epub.
To be fair, I'm aware that Kobo made some progress in firmware 3.8.0 but that is no guarantee... (firmware 3.5.0 was a complete failure regarding fonts)
Some of the Gothic font sub families are still not displayed correcty in fw 3.8.0.
