I tried this and the body text looks right, but the titles look wrong. The letters are too "narrow". Also I get a message: LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape 'T1/cmr/b/it' undefined (Font) using 'T1/cmr/b/n' instead on input line 588. which looks to me like it can't generate a CM Roman, bold, italic face...
