> It was a real potential problem with output

That's interesting. Then at what point did it change, because that's apparently not the case now?

> I specifically choose the font and variant.

Don't you mean you specifically choose the font? On Windows you choose the font and then then the variant (as you do on Adobe apps), but on Macs apps in general, I thought you just choose the font fullstop.

> But I don't know if whether non-recognition of style links at output is or was a Windows issue as well.

Then you haven't been paying attention to this thread! Style linking is (and has been) the only way to choose bold, itals, and bold itals fonts in Windows, and as such is not an issue. The only thing I'm not 100 per cent clear on is whether there is any difference in the way Ctrl-B, the bold icon, and the bold name in the font variant dropdown work. I suspect not.
