Hi, I'm confused about Embolden. Maybe someone can enlighten me. I remember getting it working for two Persian fonts Koodak and Homa. As it seems, from my 10-fonts-persian.conf that is included in fontconfig branch now, I did that by setting embolden to true in the config file unconditionally for this fonts. Now I cannot get embolding working anymore, neither with branch fontconfig, nor with FC4 fontconfig. I remember testing it working with Mozilla/Firefox/Epiphany. Anyway, I would like to know: * Whether emblden means "artifically embolden this font now", or "artificially embolden this font if the bold face is requested", where the interpretation in the second sense is left to applications. * From what I understand, the default fonts.conf should be enough to get emboldening enabled for all fonts that don't have a bold face, right? * How should the application implement emboldening? I see there's an item in the news for 2.3.92 release that emboldening chaned a bit, to let cairo use it. What was that change exactly? Currently when Pango hands in an FcPattern with emboldening turned on to cairo, nothing special happens. Though that may be a cairo bug.
