On Linux, open Theme Preferences, and in Output -> Look -> Font, set the font to \"Fixed [Misc]\", \"Regular\" style, with size 10.\r\n2. Send some bold text (with Ctrl+B) to a channel.\r\n\r\n### Expected behavior\r\n\r\nKVirc should be using the bold variant of the font.\r\n\r\n### Actual behavior\r\n\r\nThe font KVirc uses appears to be an algorithmically \"boldened\" version of the regular style, with each glyph rendered twice with a 1-pixel horizontal offset.\r\n\r\nThis causes bold text to have a much lower readability (many letters are conjoined, and glyphs such as \"m\" and \"w\" become difficult to recognize.\r\n\r\n[//]: # (Besides the text description, include any screenshot(s) that help us visualize the issue you're facing)\r\n\r\nExample screenshot - above is correct, below is KVirc rendering:\r\n\r\n![](https://dump.thecybershadow.net/4795cb2d93ea99a06892179968675cb1/screenshot.png)\r\n\r\nWorth noting that the problem does not manifest in Quassel, also a Qt application, which leads me to believe that it's KVirc-specific (as opposed to being a problem in Qt or TrueType).\r\n\r\n### System information\r\n[//]: # (Type \"/about.kvirc\" (or click \"Help → About KVIrc\") and copy&paste the details from the \"Executable Information\" tab below between ``` marks)\r\n[//]: # (Also Enter any OS information the \"Executable Information\" tab doesn't contain, e.g. KDE, Gentoo, Linux Mint, etc.)\r\n\r\n```\r\nKVIrc 4.9.2 'Aria'\r\n\r\nRuntime Info:\r\nSystem name: Linux 4.6.2-1-ARCH\r\nSystem version: #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 8 08:40:59 CEST 2016\r\nArchitecture: x86_64\r\nQt version: 5.6.1\r\nQt theme: fusion\r\n\r\nBuild Info:\r\nBuild date: 2016-06-24 14:41:56 UTC\r\nSources date: 20160624\r\nRevision number: git-6749-g08a66ad\r\nSystem name: Linux-4.6.2-1-ARCH\r\nCPU name: x86_64\r\nBuild command: /usr/bin/cmake\r\nBuild flags: \r\n   MANDIR=share/man\r\n   CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr\r\n   LIB_SUFFIX=\r\n   Threads=POSIX\r\nCompiler name: /usr/bin/c++\r\nCompiler flags: -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong \r\nQt version: 5.6.1\r\nFeatures: IRC, IPv6, Crypt, SSL, IfAddr, IPC, KDE, OSS, Audiofile, Transparency, Phonon, Webkit, DCCVoice, Perl, Python, Enchant, Qt5, KVS\r\n```\r\n[//]: # (If you experienced crashes, segfaults please also include a stacktrace below, For how-to read: https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/wiki/Grabbing-a-useful-backtrace.)\r\n"}}
