I am using Source Sans Pro as my main sans serif font, like so:
\usepackage[semibold]{sourcesanspro}
Using the semibold option works as intended, but it affects all other fonts as well. When I later use another font that does not have semibold characters (case in point: Gentium), supposedly "bold" text is shown plain. If, however, I simply use
\usepackage{sourcesanspro}
everything works fine. How can I restore \textbf{}
to use real bold again for all fonts other than Source Sans?
MWE added:
\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,paper=a4,headings=big]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fixltx2e,microtype,leading}
\usepackage[oldstyle,semibold]{sourcesanspro}
\usepackage{gentium}
\raggedbottom
\leading{14pt}
\begin{document}
\section{Look at my semi-bold title!}
\lipsum[1]
Oh, no, \textbf{this} should be bold!
\end{document}
Yes, I do get a warning:
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/gentium/sb/n' undefined(Font)
using `T1/gentium/m/n' instead on input line 21.
I'd rather LaTeX used the bold variant in this case.
mweights.sty
exactly to avoid such a problem.sourcesanspro [2013/09/23]
- then thegentium
will be attempted to be loaded atbx
but on my system it does find that and substitues withb
- which is still bold.
