Bug ID: 94886
Summary: Make "bold" and "italics" character style configurable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: d1...@phx.li
Some fonts do not just have regular, bold and italics, but also light, semibold
and light italics typefaces, for instance Gill Sans. The problem: LO's "bold"
and "italics" cannot be changed to use the "semibold" and "light italic"
typefaces to match the font thickness in use (which then means some manual or
macro solution to fix the deficiency). To set the "normal" font is easy to do
in the document style management, but I propose to also make the configuration
for "bold" and "italic" available as character styles so that they can be
configured to whatever the user needs, making it thus also possible to
re-assign "bold" and "italic" to entirely different fonts and typefaces in case
an author so desires. Naturally this setting also needs an "off" switch so LO
behaves as before, but doing it this way fixes a problem yet stays consistent
within the user interface and thus does not require any new intructions of
handling of legacy issues.
Thanks a lot in advance if you could do this - it's been a rather long
outstanding issue but I never felt before I could offer a suitable way to do
this without it making disruptive, and I exactly like LO because its UI is
stable and devoid of gimmicks :).
