Actually what I wanted to say is, if a typeface _has_ its separate Bold font file, gamma enhancement should _not_ be turned on for them. Because the font designer has already taken extra step to make sure the bold style 'looks right' by creating an explicit bold font file. In most CJK font, the number of characters/glyphs are well over 10,000 and it does not make sense to create any additional file just to implement bold or italic style for the reason of memory & labor required. As a result, I think I should correct myself and reiterate that we should only use gamma-boost on CJK fonts for now. In addition, most English fonts look good and solid in OpenOffice.org under Linux. There's minimal desire in targetting them for gamma enhancement. Hence turning on gamma-boost indiscriminately for all fonts is not really a good idea, especially for typeface which already has its separate bold font file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
