Description

The following code snippet demonstrates the issue. The italic fonts does not show up as expected on iOS (bold), on Android it does work.

var win1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor:'white',
	layout:'vertical'
});

function makeLabel(labelText, labelFont) 
{
    return Titanium.UI.createLabel({
    top: 20,
    text:labelText,
    font:labelFont,
    width:'auto',
    height:'auto'
    });
}
 
var theTestFont = 'Serif';
 
win1.add(makeLabel('Font normal normal', { fontFamily:theTestFont, fontWeight:'normal', fontStyle:'normal'}));
win1.add(makeLabel('Font bold normal', { fontFamily:theTestFont, fontWeight:'bold', fontStyle:'normal'}));
win1.add(makeLabel('Font normal italic', { fontFamily:theTestFont, fontWeight:'normal', fontStyle:'italic'}));
win1.add(makeLabel('Font bold italic', { fontFamily:theTestFont, fontWeight:'bold', fontStyle:'italic'}));

win1.open();

Serif is not a valid font for iOS. Works with a valid font say 'Helvetica Neue' Anyways our fallback mechanism needs update so we'll fix that.
