Answer 1

None of the answers here worked for me. Possibly because I am using the windows version of Safari for testing. I had to include the bold font in my CSS to fix the problem. In the case of the original question he would need to add the following (notice it uses the same font-family name)

@font-face {
font-family: 'LektonRegular';
src: url('myfonts/lekton-bold-webfont.eot');
src: url('myfonts/lekton-bold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
     url('myfonts/lekton-bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
     url(myfonts/lekton-bold-webfont.ttf)  format('truetype'),
     url('myfonts/lekton-bold-webfont.svg#LektonRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}

This worked in all browsers for me.
