Bold font only works on labels

I’m trying to use courier new bold, and it’s only correctly rendering the font in label widgets, on everything else it just does the default font but bold. I’m running version 2.9.218, had the same issue on the stable release before though. I tried a few other courier bold type fonts from different sources and different courier variants so it’s got something to do with the boldness. With regular it works fine like you would expect.

Hi @henlo_birb, welcome to the forum. Can you share the font file with me so I can test it here?

With the latest version:


Can you send me your .csd file? You can send it via PM if you don’t want to share it publically.

plz dont judge my bad code ;-;

although I doubt it’s an issue with my code, it might be a platform specific thing? I’m running hyprland on fedora

Looks like a system issue as it works here on my Mac. I will test on Linux next week when I get back to my Linux machine.

I just checked I have the same issue in Gnome on both wayland and xorg, so it’s not a hyprland specific issue at least.
