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.
I had a look at Bookerly and in the Panose settings, the weight for bold italic is set to demi. That could be why with kepub bold italic is not working properly.
