I know the solution to your CharisSIL bold problem. I have come across such before and with a lot of trial and error, figured out the solution.

Install Notepad++ under Windows and then load in the CSS. Go to the encoding menu and select Encode in UTF-8 without BOM. That will fix the problem with the bold where it should be displaying normal.
