--- Comment #26 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> ---
FYI: I thought it might be good to have a central ticket related to font
handling in general, not to specific things like "setBold doesn't work":

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-65037

It includes a WIP function to strip the style name, but that may have
unexpected results due to how QFonts work internally (= return a different font
from the same family).

Please don't hesitate to chime in there.

Dominik is right that this is a very annoying issue which potentially
far-reaching implications. Styles may also use setBold() to render certain UI
elements, and they'll typically do that on the fly. This will either not work
anymore or it will become significantly more costly.

Come to think of it: I use a "semibold" generic UI font and have long been
noticing (in applications that offer style selection, like the oxygen-demo)
that trying Breeze and then switching back to another style leaves the generic
font in "Regular" weight. I understand now that Breeze is only partly to blame
for this.
