Me too.
I using Windows 7 x64. some fonts didn't show bold texts in Internet
Explorer(or all
of program). Character Spacing is increased but not bold texts.
Here, I attach screenshots.
gdipp_bold_1.png, increased Character Spacing but we can't look bold texts.
gdipp_bold_2.png is not rendered screenshot. We can look bold texts.
gdipp_bold_3.png is rendered by gdipp. Where are bold texts?
Legacy CJK from Windows default truetype fonts didn't make bold font.
MS Gothic, MS PGothic, MS UI Gothic
MS Mincho, MS PMincho
Gulim, Gulimche
Dotum, Dotumche
Batang, Batangche
Gungsuh, Gungsuhche

This problem occurs only if there is no separate Bold style file for the font
family.

Ah, I see.
Is this something that I can fix myself (by adjusting the font file), or do you
intend
to add support for such fonts in future releases?
Many thanks,
James

I wonder if the fix made it too bold? It was quite unreadable on 0.7.4 beta so
I
reverted to 0.7.3

Well, the UI elements that were not bold previous are now rendered as bold - I
have
made some comparisons with gdi++ the bold weight appears to match.
However, for some reason the normal (non-bold) style is now rendered very
faintly,
yet only in some programmes. The UI in Thunderbird looks great, however
Chromium and
Explorer appear very soft.
Again, I have attached screenshots (gdipp 0.7.4, gdipp 0.7.3, and gdi++) for
reference.
Cheers,
James

Regarding to "too bold" problem:
More comprehensive answers can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/gdipp/issues/detail?id=34.
"Since 0.7.4, gdipp has the ability to render ANY weight the program requests."
If
your programs request that, gdipp obeys.
Regarding to "too soft" question:
0.7.4 reduces the default shadow alpha. You can try to increase it.

Thank you, and yes I just read about the flexible font weighting ability.
Do you know if gdi++ offers such functionality?
Would it be possible to request an 'old style' option to restrict rendering to
the
simple 400/700 system used by ClearType?
>0.7.4 reduces the default shadow alpha. You can try to increase it.
Yes, I noticed this also, however I always set alpha to 0 immediately after
reinstalling gdipp (I personally don't find the shadowing improves legibility),
so I
don't believe this is the issue. It would appear that the normal weight on
some UI
elements is simply too 'light' to begin with - I suspect this may also relate
to the
flexible weighting functionality outlined above.
Cheers,
James

If I can see enough evidence showing that GDI really ignores other weight
values, I
will revert to emulate GDI's behavior. This is only a regression of the current
weight ability, thus can be done easily. Still, compatibility is one of the most
important thing gdipp considers. I just wonder why GDI exhibits such ignoring
behavior. Maybe Microsoft's burden of compatibility is much more heavier than
what we
can imagine.
If program requests weight as 200 or 100, gdipp will render it very faintly.

I see.
Do you know what weight the Windows explorer icon text (including desktop), or
perhaps the Chromium options window in the screenshots above are 'requested'
to be
rendered at?
Cheers,
James

400 for Explorer. I think Chrome should be the same. gdipp works perfect in my
own
machine.

Should be fixed in 0.7.5.

Thank you. 0.7.5 fixes the issue with some UI elements being rendered too
softly.
However, I note that my window titles are now too bold.
I believe gdipp may be rendering 'faux-bold' (i.e. fonts that do not have a
separate
bold file) too heavily.
The OS X theme I am using utilises the 'Lucida Grande' font, yet strangely,
despite
the separate 'Lucida Grande Bold' file being available, the system still
chooses to
use a faux-bold version of the normal 'Lucida Grande' font. I wonder if I need
to
edit the .msstyle theme or even the .ttf file in some way to specify that the
bold
version of the font is part of the same family?
Cheers,
James
