I haven't tested the ones from either link yet myself. I was just remembering when there was a little Bookerly flurry here. The version of Bookerly that was most easily available on the interwebz was pulled off a certain version of FireOS. And that version had the bold italic problem.

But people yanking Bookerly off their e-ink Kindles didn't see the same issue.

But I'm going off of hazy memory and you are going from first hand experience. So I trust you.

BTW, the original Bookerly fonts were never corrupt, they just had some internal metrics that the Kobo didn't seem to like at that time.

Point is you add it and it don't look good. While other versions of the same font do not exhibit the same behavior.
