Unfortunately no. Metadata refers to information about a file that tells the exact specifications so a program or app knows how to handle it. Just like in ebooks where calibre let you edit the author, title, series information. For fonts it is not that easy as there is no easy to use and free program that does that. Even the paid for programs are horribly complicated, IMHO.
You can still use it with an incomplete set, but you already seen that the automatic substitution or generation for the missing styles fails. You been lucky that all you got was an incorrect formatting. It used to crash the Kindle occasionally when an incomplete font set was used. I am not sure if that got fixed, but I won't chance it. I did troubleshoot it long enough to pin the crashes I experienced down to incomplete font sets. Others that had crashes and deleted all custom fonts to have exactly (no more and no less) regular, regular italic, regular bold, and regular bold italic did no longer have any crashes.
