I am finishing the final touches on a manuscript, which I hope to send to a publisher later today and noticed this problem where bold and italic text isn't rendered at the same time.
I am using the EB Garamond font in my document. I set it up exactly as
shown below. Strangely, bold works, italics works, but when bold and
italics are together, it only display in italics, it doesn't display a
bold italic text. I've confirmed the `EBGaramond-BoldItalic.otf` font is
present and seems just fine. I've also tried by just using the default
ConTeXt font and the error still appears, also in
live.contextgarden.net. I tried searching the mailing list, as this
seems like something that must have come up, but couldn't find any
question about this.
Why won't it render both?
