That will work fine in most browsers, except one (and a half): all IE older
than 9.
so if you do
@font-face { font-family: 'Alegreya' , ...} (and repeat for each face with the
same font-family)
div { font-family: 'Alegreya' }
em { font-style: italic; }
strong { font-weight: bold; }
<div> some text <em>italic text>/em> more text <strong>bold text</strong></div>
IE 8 and older will not (always) show the italicised and bold text as such.
Sometimes it does work, where IE starts faking / emulating the style.
