How is the issue 67167 going? Anything can I help you, e.g. preparing an image
of VMWare for reproduction?

May I escalate the issue 67167 as a showstopper to the release process of 2.0.4?
Users of Solaris with Japanese environment cannot use any predefined style
with Bold and/or Italic typeface. E.g. Once a user apply a style Heading 1
to a text, the text disappears or is rendered with an inappropriate font.

Tracing system calls with "truss -t open -p process_id_of_soffice.bin"
reveals that applying bold and/or italic typeface results in finding another
font file as Western system does. However, Japanese font sets have only normal
typefaces. I.e no bold, italic, bold-italic, font file is provided because
of its tremendous number of characters. Apparently, there is something that
can be considered.

The Artificial bold and/or italic rendering system for ethnic fonts have been
introduced in the OOo 2.0. All Asian UNIX users had been waiting for the
useful, demanded rendering system. I really appreciate you and the gsl team
for the efforts of introducing the artificial rendering system.

Best Regards,
Tora
