It appears that this only occurs on the front (home) page.
It appears that newer posts do not have the bold-italic text on the front page.
It appears that if you click on any post title, the post appears with text styles as intended.
Home page still has bold-italic text in the side menus.
All other pages (2, 3, 4, About, Support, etc.) appear normal.

I have no idea how this will "resolve itself", or what I will do about it... if anything. I will leave this pinned to the top for a bit as a reminder.
