If you still haven't figured out how to reproduce it, apply the
patched I've attached. It will force the hash entries to be added in
sorted order. With the patch applied, if you have some fonts called

Calibri Bold Italic.otf
Calibri Bold.otf
Calibri Italic.otf
Calibri.otf

the order of hash insertions will always exactly as above, regardless
of disk order, e.g.:

filename | 49 -> /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri Bold Italic.otf
filename | 50 -> /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri Bold.otf
filename | 51 -> /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri Italic.otf
filename | 52 -> /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri.otf

So, you'll get bold italic instead of bold in the PDF.

Feel free to fiddle with the sort function if you name fonts
differently, but you need to make sure that bold italic gets loaded
before bold for the bug to occur.
