How different fonts look like with 'Bold'.

Problem description: 
See Image. The boldening only looks strange in OS X, with serif fonts.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try using a serif font, make it bolder.
2. If this isn't really significant, try using something CJK, e.g. copypasta from Wikipedia.


THIS ALSO OCCURS IN LIBREOFFICE IMPRESS, AND SO ON.
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.2.2.1 release

Btw, this only happens in the UI. Printing and PDF exporting is not affected.
Comment 2 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2014-09-19 20:25:15 UTC 
Those fonts (but Source Han Sans) don't have a real "bold" style, so the rendering system fakes the bold style, but it's adding too much weight to it.
