TM 2.0 uses CoreText which doesn’t synthesize bold and italic when the font has no such variant.

So you need to pick a font with a bold and italic variant for the theme styles to work. I have no plans of trying to synthesize these styles myself (not really feasible) and Apple seems content with not having CoreText do it (like the deprecated ATSUI did).
