Noto Serif Bold = Bold + Italic

[HanspeterSchnitzel]

Any bolded Noto Serif text turns bold as well as italic.

This applies to new and existing documents.

Safe mode does not change this behavior, neither did repairing my installation of libre office.

EDIT:

I use Windows 10, LO version 24.8.2.1 (X86_64).

The Noto fonts came with the software. I did not install them on my own. Noto Serif Bold and Noto Serif Italic are both available. Noto Serif Bold displays as it should, but bolding the normal Noto Serif yields Bold+Italic.

If you expect sensible answer, help us: click on … under your question, then on the “pencil” icon. You are now in Edit mode.

Add OS name, LO version and save format. Fonts are retrieved from you system. Variations like bold or italic are “translated” into selection of a separate font file. Consequently, if the bold-only variant is not installed, the OS font manager will return the “closest” equivalent. In your case, this ended in bold italic.

Check installed fonts, download the missing variants or reinstall completely the font.

Reinstalling the font helped, thanks.

That is strange. I never downloaded the font to begin with. It came with the software and updating to 24.8.2.1 broke it.

Century Gothic is Bold, but Bold AND Italic

Hello! When I use the font Century Gothic in writer, and I make it BOLD, I find that it looks bold AND italic. If I add italic, it doesn’t look any different, but it does seem to add a little space to the end, adjust the kerning or something, and shift it along a notch. But otherwise Bold and Bold+Italic look identical. Only on this font from what I can see! Any ideas? Thank you!

Bold = Bold Italic for Noto Serif

I have an issue similar to the question Bold=Bold Italic, with the difference that I only see the issue with the font “Noto Serif”. I am running Libre Office Writer on Arch Linux. When I use the font viewer of my KDE desktop I can inspect the font and can see a different rendering of Bold and Bold Italic. The font was installed with the normal noto font package I don’t know whether there is really a problem with Libre Office or not though I can see the issue with Libre Office. Inkscape for exa…

Noto fonts are not distributed with LibreOffice as of version 24.2.
The Update may have removed some variants of this font
