           Summary: defining bold @font-face before normal font weight
                    @font-face 'looses' bold @font-face
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Mac PPC Version 4.0 (5528.1, r37300)
Bug is also present in latest Safari 4 developer preview.

Pretty simple, really.  If you use @font-face to specify a new font-family, and
define the font-weight:bold definitions before the standard font-weight
definitions, the bold fonts 'disappear' and are replaced with their normal
weight equivalent.  There is no problem if the bold font-weights are defined
after the normal font-weights.

See the attached tarball for a concise demonstration of the bug.  The font uses
to define a new font-family with @font-face is the GhostScript LetterGothic
font (OpenType).  The LetterGothic font is made up of four files: normal,
italic, bold, italic+bold.  Also attached is a cropped screen grab of the
attached .html (for convenience)
