Created attachment 179892 [details] The correct bold and italic occur on the right, in HTML view. The correct bold and italic also apply for all other text editors. I am currently filing a bug regarding improper bolding and italicizing of Unifont, a monospace font that supports almost all of Unicode. I am a Linux user who has Unifont installed. Unifont has bold and italic glyphs stored under the same file as the base glyph. On Libreoffice, whenever I bold or italicize Unifont on Libreoffice only, Libreoffice creates "faux bold" and "faux italic" transformations where I find it highly undesirable. This applies to all installs of Unifont. I am a Linux Ubuntu user.
One should also note that the normal, bold, italic, and bolditalic forms of Unifont are bundled into one ttf or otf file. Other fonts have separate TTF or OTF files for the respective four forms.

Please describe the actual and the expected result and paste informations from Help -> About Libreoffice. thank you => NEEDINFO

The one on the right is more analogous to "arial bold" and "arial italics", in which Arial do have bold and italics version, but the italics is a professionally designed oblique form.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
Thanks for you expanation, but I can't assess this. Perhaps somebody else can confirm the problem.
I'm not a font expert, but I'd say this is a duplicate of bug 103596.
Unifont comes only in a regular style, whatever you are seeing in other applications are also synthetic (faux) styles. There is no standard that defines how much to slant or embolden a font, so different applications might give different results.
