Description William Park 2024-10-24 22:05:03 UTC 
Description:
LibreOffice = 24.8.2.1

On Windows version, 'Noto Serif Bold' shows up in 'Italic' also.  So, bold = bold + italic.

On Linux version, bold is just bold, as it should be.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a word in 'Noto Serif'
2. Make the word into 'Bold'.

Actual Results:
The word becomes both Bold and Italic.

Expected Results:
Bold word should be just bold, not bold and italic.


Reproducible: Always

Check the Character... dialog.

On the Font tab, is the Style set to 'Regular' or to 'Bold Italic'?

Opens for me by default to 'Regular' and I can't confirm.

The second mentions, that it's the issue affecting other installed software, and concludes, that it's related to the font; and the last tells that reinstalling fonts resolved the issue.

Seems like the update breaks fonts.
