Hi folks,

I just learned about the B612 font, and after installing the fonts-b612 
package (version 1.008-4 on a Testing/Trixie system) also experienced 
this issue.
The "normal" version gets rendered both italicised and bold - though I 
notice not with the same weight or italicisation as the explicit "bold 
italic" version of the font.

However, some applications do render it correctly!

Font displayed correctly in:
- Firefox
- GIMP
- Chromium

"Normal" displayed as bold and italic:
- KDE Plasma font settings
- Krita


Though most unusual is obs-studio. If you create a text layer, the font 
shows correctly when rendering the text overlay and preview, but on the 
font selection UI the name of the font is rendered as bold and italic!

So given the applications affected and unaffected, perhaps this is 
something specific to how KDE/Qt handles the font?
