[Tex/LaTex] Bold and italic command is not working

formattingluatexxetex

I've tried \bfseries and \textbf{} for the bold and \textit{} or \emph, but neither change the text. I'm really not sure what can I do. I'll put some examples of the code I have.

\titleformat*{\section}{\normalsize \bfseries}
\titleformat*{\subsection}{\normalsize \bfseries}

this one will put in normal size the title but not in bold.

{\noindent\bfseries{Key words:}\textit{ abc, abs, abc}}\\ 

{\noindent\bfseries{Abstract: }\textit{\blindtext }}

Again, the other commands works but not italic or the bold.

As far as I know, I'm using all packages necessary. Thank you for the help!

EDIT:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titling}

Never do

\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Do not use fontenc with luatex or xetex, with those engines you want to use Unicode (TU encoding) not the 256-character tex-specific T1 encoding. TU is already set up by default (in current formats or by fontspec package even in older formats) so you do not need to specify the encoding.

Explanation

To match your first two requests, I've redefined the behavior of for to have an end statement by adding the lines:

\algdef{SE}{For}{End}[2]{%
  \textkeyword{for} \(#1\) \textkeyword{to} \(#2\) \textkeyword{do begin}}{%
  \textkeyword{end}}

To match your last request, it suffices to add the line:
```
\algrenewcommand\textkeyword{\textrm}
```
which redefines the font for keywords to be \textrm instead of \textbf.
In regards of your 3rd request, there are two ways.
- If you want the algorithm to behave as an algorithm, simply load the algorithm package with the option plain as in the above MWE:
```
\usepackage[plain]{algorithm}
```
- If you want the algorithm to behave as a figure, there is no need to load the algorithm package, simply insert the algorithmic environment inside a figure, i.e. replace the lines
```
\begin{algorithm}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
...
\end{algorithmic}
\caption{Paull's algorithm}
\end{algorithm}
```
  with
```
\begin{figure}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
...
\end{algorithmic}
\caption{Paull's algorithm}
\end{figure}
```
  and you will have

This is the complete implementation of the algorithm in the figure:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[plain]{algorithm}
\usepackage{algpascal}

\begin{document}

\algrenewcommand\textkeyword{\textrm}
\algdef{SE}{For}{End}[2]{%
  \textkeyword{for} \(#1\) \textkeyword{to} \(#2\) \textkeyword{do begin}}{%
  \textkeyword{end}}
\algdef{SE}{ForEach}{End}[1]{%
  \textkeyword{for each} #1 \textkeyword{do begin}}{%
  \textkeyword{end}}

\begin{algorithm}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\State Assign an ordering $A_{1}, \dots, A_{n}$ to the nonterminals of the grammar.
\For{i := 1}{n}
    \For{j := 1}{i-1}
        \ForEach{production of the form $A_{i} \rightarrow A_{j} \alpha$}
            \State remove $A_{i} \rightarrow A_{j} \alpha$ from the grammar
            \ForEach{production of the form $A_{j} \rightarrow \beta$}
                \State add $A_{i} \rightarrow \beta\alpha$ to the grammar
            \End
        \End
    \End
    \State transform the $A_{i}$-productions to eliminate direct left recursion
\End
\end{algorithmic}
\caption{Paull's algorithm}
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}

There is the need to define a new command \ForEach:

\algdef{SE}{ForEach}{End}[1]{%
  \textkeyword{for each} #1 \textkeyword{do begin}}{%
  \textkeyword{end}}

Note that I've defined \ForEach so to take one "text" argument, because it seemed to me the best way to define it.

If you want it to take a "math" argument, then define it as

\algdef{SE}{ForEach}{End}[1]{%
  \textkeyword{for each} \(#1\) \textkeyword{do begin}}{%
  \textkeyword{end}}

and use it as follows (amsmath is needed for the command \text):

\ForEach{\text{production of the form }A_{i} \rightarrow A_{j} \alpha}

[Tex/LaTex] No bold, italic and small caps with XeLaTeX

It looks like cmlgc package is not compatible with Unicode fonts as used by xetex, if I remove that the font warnings go and you get small caps output

\documentclass[11pt,oneside]{book}

\usepackage[labelfont={sc,color=blue}, textfont={small,it}, labelsep=endash]{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\DeclareTextCommandDefault{\nobreakspace}{\leavevmode\nobreak\ } 

%%Pour insérer des images
\usepackage{graphicx} 

%%Le document est en français
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{french}

%\usepackage{cmlgc}

\begin{document}
{\huge\textsc{Sans la liberté de blâmer, il n'est point d'éloge flatteur. }}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{image.png}
\caption{Beaumarchais}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
