There may be multiple "good value" combos but the ones I've used which have always worked so far are:
  • Regular & Italic: set panose Weight to "Book"
  • Bold & BoldItalic: set panose Weight to "Bold"
I have a vague memory that someone had success setting all 4 to "Any" but I didn't test that option myself.

Of the fonts that didn't initially work as-is in kepubs, I seem to remember them having Weight values such as "Medium" and "Demi".

I think it must be only the Access kepub renderer which reads the panose info because I never noticed any "wrongly-displayed-as-Bold" problems when I read only standard epubs with the Adobe renderer.
