Embeded Italic font not rendered

6.0
I was editing headers on a book with CharisSILBI and CharisSILI embeded.

The heading would not display as Italic in the Sigil BV

If I disabled the font-family: "Charis" in the style, (to use a default italic), it worked. It also worked with the font-family set to just: serif

Note: Calibre-viewer shows the heading in (Charis) italic font

Apparently, this is a known Qt framework bug.

Gah! That one has a long beard, which is why I missed it when I looked at the bug list.

for spotting it

Yup, it is really strange that it has not yet been squashed yet considering how old that bug is. Lets hope they finally will solve it with the next Qt-release, whenever that may be.

I have just been experimenting (at last) with embedded fonts, and it was very disconcerting to perfect the css and layout and still see no variations. Then I opened it in Sony Library and there were all the different variations.

On one of the first betas (0.5.9xxx), I reported it as a bug, just to be told that it was... business as usual...

I'm curious how iBooks gets around the Qt bug. Isn't it a WebKit-based renderer? Or does iBooks suffer from this same affliction?

Because I don't use Book View for anything other than getting the most basic of formatting "snapshots": big letters/small letters, vertical spacing, indentation, and images showing up.
