[Freetype] Re: [Gltt-discuss] Re: Font styles

[Wallace Chigona]

Me again on the "bold" issue.

I don't seem to understand why gltt and Freetype should fail to support
bold.  My understanding of a facetype is that is is "completely" a
different font file.  That means it was designed to be bold.  You see
it's not as if a "regular" font is being changed to become bold.  That
means if I get a font which is by design bold it should work.  I have
never tried it, but I don't know why it should fail.

It also says Freetype supports Multiple Master fonts.  By implication
this should also support bold.

I am I getting these things mixed?
