3.0a1 is very old, for something being worked on as much as fonts and text are currently. Could you please retest with either 3.0a3, or better yet a current nightly build?

This might be a dupe of bug 333126

If the fonts are not have bold/italic style file, comment 4 is a true.

Comment 6

[Mathieu Pellerin]

Same behavior with Khmer script rendering, bold style not applied to text.

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

The fix for bug 327879 should have fixed this.
But I can't confirm as there is something wrong with the encoding at dinamani.com.

Comment 8

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

dinamani.com uses "x-user-defined" encoding, and requires installing its own font from http://www.dinamani.com/fonts/tmnews.ttf. It looks to me as if it isn't fixed, but it may be a different issue since it doesn't seem to work in Firefox 2 either.
