<p>Hi Tammy,</p>
<p>to check your problem I had to buy one font style, I choose the "Breuer Text regular" font.</p>
<p>Now, after checking the font info, it is clearly a mistake in the font definition. Although the style name is "Regular", the font weight is set to "medium".</p>
<p>If this is a problem, you should contact your font dealer or the maker of the font. Of course the setting could be modified with a font program, but this would be against license agreements, I guess.</p>
<p>best regards -</p>
<p>Tino H. Haida, Berlin (Germany)</p>

The Regular text gets loaded and installed with "Medium" in the name in the Fonts directory and in FM., anytime I try to italicize a paragraph tag, it gets bolded as well.</span></span><span><span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></p>
