Say I want to have my document in the default sans serif font, but I occasionally wish to have some other features in the document be in a different font. I am using \usepackage{libertine} to load this other font, and I get the libertine font to show up by using \textsf{...}.
However, now \textbf{} no longer works in the document to bold the default sans serif font. How can I work around this?
Edit: I found the issue. The problem was the following offending line of code:
\renewcommand\rmdefault{cmss}
I changed this to
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{cmss}
in the MWE below, and all works fine.
MWE (solution found):

\textsf{ <text> }; it should really be\textsf{<text>}. (Perhaps you were just trying to draw attention to its use, however....) – jon Sep 13 '13 at 20:07
