I am finishing the final touches on a manuscript, which I hope to send to a publisher later today and noticed this problem where bold and italic text isn't rendered at the same time.
I am using the EB Garamond font in my document. I set it up exactly as shown below. Strangely, bold works, italics works, but when bold and italics are together, it only display in italics, it doesn't display a bold italic text. I've confirmed the `EBGaramond-BoldItalic.otf` font is present and seems just fine. I've also tried by just using the default ConTeXt font and the error still appears, also in live.contextgarden.net. I tried searching the mailing list, as this seems like something that must have come up, but couldn't find any question about this.
Why won't it render both?

Hi Joel,
I don't think you can stack those, just use \bi (see:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Font_Switching)
\starttext
\startitemize
\item This text has {\bf bold} in it.
\item This text has {\it italics} in it.
\item Why doesn't this have {\bi bold and italics} in it?
\stopitemize

Don't use absolute paths in \definefontsynonym, when you use a local
folder for your font files set the path with \usefontpath.
%%%% begin snippet
\usefontpath [~/fonts/12/]
\starttypescript [serif] [garamond]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:EBGaramond-Regular.otf]
...
\stoptypescript
%%%% end snippet

IDK, but then it's probably a font issue?

However there seems to be an inconsistency, as in the example below: in this particular example it is better to use explicitely \bi to have bold italic.
\starttext
text {\italicface text {\boldface text} text} text
text {\it text {\bf text} text} text: here the third instance of text is in boldface, but not in italic boldface.
text {\it text {\bi text} text} text
\stoptext
Best regards: Otared
