This is causing the use of bold, probably because bold comes in the  
alphabet before regular. Don't use the "Rg" specifier, XeTeX is  
clever enough to find a font's variants, because otherwise you get:

You see, it's a different font name than you've specified.


What is the reason you do not use

	\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
