However, in both versions, the cursor movement and the highlight width in the Style Inspector were similarly reduced in the 50% scale-width portion, which appears to be consistent and expected behavior. Additionally, the issue was also observed when exporting to PDF. Based on these observations, it seems that the formatting with 50% scale width is being applied correctly, and the issue may lie in how the characters are being rendered.
