As a lower priority, browser support for using the unicode-range property to avoid unnecessary downloads.

The fix is (obviously) to explicitly import the versions of the fonts you bold/italicize, but it actually took me a little while to figure out that that (and not some weird CSS issue) was the problem. In past versions of Chrome (or perhaps it's Google Web Fonts that has changed, I'm not sure), I've been able to use and HTML tags around text and my Google fonts have responded accordingly (without my needing to explicitly import bold/italic versions) - but that's no longer the case. weird text-shadow for no reason on what used to appear bold). I noticed in the past week that sites of mine that had imported a font from Google Web Fonts without explicitly specifying to import bold/italics versions too were looking odd (e.g. I don't think this is related to the issue this article talks about, but it may be relevant to Windows Chrome users whose fonts suddenly look bad.
