The synthetic emboldening can 594 be applied to a visibly faint font, but the results are not always as 595 expected: With just the embolden, <application>epiphany</application> showed 596 darker font, <application>firefox</application> did not - so although 597 <application>cairo</application> is now used by 598 <application>firefox</application> the comment about setting Weight is still 599 valid. But setting both, <application>epiphany</application> will show bold text 600 by default, but heavy text if markup for bold is used. In both cases, neither 601 <application>libreOffice</application> nor <application>falkon</application> 602 showed bolder text. 603 </para> 582 604 583 605 </sect2> … … 1043 1065 Libreoffice: Tests using English text with an old Japanese font (HanaMinA) 1044 1066 which supports several European languages but had only one weight and no 1045 italics or slant showed that although <application> Libreoffice</application>1067 italics or slant showed that although <application>libreoffice</application> 1046 1068 uses fontconfig to find the font, it created its own bold or slanted text. 1047 1069 It is not clear if it will do the same where a font actually has bold weight 1048 or an italic face. Also, documentation shows that Libreoffice has its own1070 or an italic face. Also, documentation shows that libreoffice has its own 1049 1071 substitution rules for when a codepoint is not found in the selected font, 1050 1072 but is unclear if those rules apply on Linux using fontconfig.
