It seems to be a fact, that using CSS you MUST have all 4 styles of fonts in the font folder! The reader is not able to render bold or italic if there is no special designed font in bold or italic. Not just with NimbusMod but every other fonts too. A.
Since I really don't care about seeing a bold difference or not because of my bad eyes, I just prefer using the bold always at times. What I do is simply used the bold and bold italic of a font as it should be, then copied the same 2 font files and renamed them to the normal and normal italic versions. I've never had a problem with something not displaying.

In the meantime, you could do that for the Nimbus font. Or find a font that's similiar in style and use the bold and bold italic from that font. I would just rename it to the Nimbus name so calling a "font family" won't have a mix of font family names in it (not sure if that would be a problem or not, just going on the side of caution with the last renaming part).
