Since I use Ubuntu/Linux, I just installed the ttf-droid package through Synaptic. But assuming you're using Windows, it looks like you can get .zip file containing them from here (link near bottom):

I think all the ones I suggested have a full family.

But what do you have in mind? The Sony unfortunately, won't let you use a true italic or true bold to complement its default font (And of course changing the default font at all requires flashing.), as far as I know. I suppose you could embed them in ePubs or PDFs, though.
