I can select it as a font in Open Office, and it will display regular, italic, bold, and bold/italic. So, all the variations have to be in that one file.
Ah, but you are foiled here. In this case there is only 1 style. The fact that Open Office (or many other programs) will also seem to have the other styles, is because they are faking them. They artificially make it bold or italic etc.
Now, in an ePUB (or web) that is not possible. So, if you embed a font that is regular, there is no way you can show in italic it unless you also embed a font from the same family with that style.
