That seems wrong to me too.

I just experimented in TextEdit on OS X 10.9 — created some text in Avenir Next 
Medium, then italicized one word. It came out Avenir Next Italic (not Medium 
Italic), which is slightly wrong (too light) but not as wrong as what you got 
on iOS.

My best guess is that the metadata in the fonts themselves is wrong: maybe 
Medium Italic doesn’t have the same weight value as Medium.

You could try creating some CSS to define a custom font/style mapping, then 
insert that into the HTML…
