I'd like to fix this issue, as these fonts are among my favourites and I don't like embedding fonts in all of my ebooks. I've made sure that the files are named correctly, I tried converting them to .otf since that seemed to work for some people. I also tried changing the font internal naming using Fontforge, something that had helped me fix the same issue with another font previously, but it hasn't worked.
I'd be really grateful if someone could help me with this.

I tried Gentium Basic and Gentium Book Basic on my Glo with firmware 3.13.1:
Installing all four files (*-Regular, *-Italic, *-Bold, *-BoldItalic) I had the same problem you describe with the kepub reader, however they work okay in the epub reader.
However I made a discovery: If I install just the *-Regular and *-Italic files, then it works in the kepub reader, but not in the epub reader! That is, in the kepub reader I get regular, italic, bold and bold italic even though I only have the -Regular and -Italic files installed.
Edit: What you could do is install Regular and Italic files from Gentium Plus or Gentium Plus Compact for use with kepubs, and all four files from Gentium Basic or Gentium Book basic for use with epubs.
