I have done this, but the problem persists. Were you suggesting that taking the above steps could possibly solve the bold italics problem? >> And I have >> now noticed that when I update TeXLive, I get an error message for >> missing map files for biolinum and libertine type1 fonts. > > Xe(La)TeX (and LuaTeX) does not use MAP files.

I sort of understand this! The point I was trying to make, is that (1) the problem started with the installation of libertine-type1, (2) Khaled suggested in his post that "(Type1 fonts [are] being picked instead of OpenType ones)".
