I wanted to make a screenshot with wenquanyi zen hei and dillo3 in order to mention the change in specifying the font name, and I get boxes when the text is bold or italic.
I checked and that font don't define bold and italic styles, so is being replaced by other fonts...i dont have any Chinese font with bold or italic defined, so i also get a "box" from some random font.
Looking to the Chinese characters, i would imagine that italic and bold don't make much sense, only make even harder to read, maybe only very special fonts may have it... maybe a native speaking may give some light over this?
Either way, its possible and the user need a Chinese font with bold/italic support or else will see wrong characters.
Yeah, it's similar to what I'd mentioned before about URW Chancery L only having an italic form. I suppose that, in the general case, we probably care more about matching the font family than about matching the weight/style.
Good point. We should change this in FltkFont::initSystemFonts (). Cheers, Johannes
