You have a corrupted PDF (see below the same paragraph from my PDF).  
What platform (OS) do you use? What application do you use to view the  
PDF? When was the last time you upgraded your TeX distribution?

 From my fontspec.pdf:

Before fontspec, it was still necessary to write cumbersome font  
definition files
for LATEX, since the NFSS had a lot more going on behind the scenes to  
allow easy
commands like \emph or \bfseries.
