No, that is not what I said. I said that the reports tools has no report about bold/italics characters. Font subsetting in calibre most defintely makes use of styling information. As is trivially deducible by a quick experiment. Simply use a font family that for some text without any bold or italic variants and watch a font subsetting will remove the the bold and italic variants of the font, entirely.
