Bold/Italics?

[David Crawshaw]

How does one affect the font weight, ie: bold, italics? Is it done by
changing the name of the font?

Also, the new core isn't rendering. Something weird is going on. I
could spend a few hours now trying to work out what/build a test case,
but instead I'm going to spend the time getting a WYSIWYG demo going.

The core I'm using now can be found:
http://repo.zentus.com/ibex-smallmerchant

(which is basically the core Tupshin maintains on
darcs.smallmerchant.com)

Yes. The bold/italic/bold-italic fonts are actually different TTFs. We
should probably come up with some way to handle this nicely in the
widgets.

Yep. We'll also need some kind of access to the bold/italics versions
of the default fonts.

Perhaps ibex.ui.font.serif.bold?

AFAIK a .ttf can only hold one of [regular,bold,bolditalic,italic].
So you need a new ttf.

Will the core ship with the bold, italic and bolditalic versions of
ibex.ui.font.serif/sansserif?

Yes, if we can find a way to strip out the non-latin-1 chars in vera...
