These strokes and weights were built into the first PCL based (Laser) printers.
My first printer (the Epson MX80) produced output that reproduced the effects (double-strike to get bold).
Logic suggest that the EPUB spec did not exclude something as basic as italic support.
May be true, but that's not the point, The claim was made that the Sony Implementation violated the EPUB spec. I was asking for examples of that violation. Didn't get any yet that I can see.
