Issue ID: 127270
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Emulated bolding ("singular" font) with color gives
outline effect
Product: General
Version: 4.1.3
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X, all
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
When using a font that does not have separate typeface files for bold face,
bolding is emulated. It looks like this is done by superimposing a "fat
contour" line on the existing typeface.
On the Mac OS-X build of 4.1.3, the bolding contour is always black. When
bolding colored text, the visual effect is "outline with fill color". White
text on black background comes out as "skeleton" (skinny characters) when
bolding is applied.
The problem does not occur on Windows builds of 4.1.3. I have not tested it on
other platforms.
The problem has been observed on OS-X versions 10.8 and 10.12. Other apps can
apply bolding as expected on the same systems.
Workaround is to install the boldface font file when it exists. Secondary
workaround is to use a replacement font. (Preferences - OpenOffice - Fonts)
