Re: Fedora and Garamond (LaTeX) fonts

Well, perhaps the problem is not with the Garamond font in fact.

You should take care about few typographical details, one of those is about the boldface. As you should know, the boldface is an invention from the 19th century,  and the fashion of the boldfaces still goes on.

But Garamond, or the most typefaces created under that name are designs fron the 16th century, a pretty earlier than the union of the bolds to the typographic republic. So, a good design or reconstruction of the Garamond (or Granjon: A typographer with which historically has been confused Garamond's work to the point that many reconstructions currently sold under the name Garamond correspond with the work not of Garamond but Granjon.) work deliberately omites the boldfaces. A good design that is typographically consistent skips boldface when composing the text in Garamond. If you need a boldface to use then you should use another typeface created in the 20th or 21th centuries.

Regards.
