The information is in the release notes, and the behavior brings font 
management into conformance with how mobile font styling works (there are no 
simulated styles on mobile.) 

The IDE reports italics because that's what was assigned and the engine 
apparently keeps the designation though it no longer can render it. The IDE 
must be using that info to do a font substitution or something similar. Your 
own scripts could do the same.
