I was able to solve my problem with Philippe's help.
But I am curious why specing font-weight: bold; in the @font-face
declaration doesn't double-bold a bold face custom font, when specing
font-weight: normal; in the @font-face declaration and font-weight:
bold; on an element DOES double-bold a bold face custom font.
