I have seen this as well. In my current template, body tags use
AGaramond. I have a character tag set to As Is, and then Bold.
When I apply this tag to body text, nothing happens. When I
make a tag that explicitly references AGaramond Bold, then
I get bold text, but not when I use a more generically defined tag.

I don't have a solution for this other than to make a new character
tag that uses the dedicated bold font. Is that the only way?
