SUMMARY
Some bold mono fonts are actually "bolder" than normal fonts.
Though reported in Plasma 6, this can be observed on Plasma 5 if you use
Wayland. Cannot be observed on X11.
Konsole does also have this problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate
2. Select some bold mono fonts as editor font (Not all, the fonts I know can
reproduce are WenQuanYi Micro Hei Mono and WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono.)
3. You may see that words highlighted as bold are "bolder", or wider than the
others.
OBSERVED RESULT
words highlighted as bold are "bolder", or wider than the others.
EXPECTED RESULT
All words should be of the same width.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
Archlinux 6.8.1-arch1-1 (64 bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
DroidSansMono Nerd Fonts seem to have problems too. When using DroidSansMono
Nerd Font and DroidSansMono Nerd Font Mono, the highlighted words have no
visual difference than the others. When using DroidSansMono Nerd Fond Proto the
highlighted words are wider. Other mono fonts seems to be correct.
When "Show mono fonts only" is on, WenQuanYi fonts are not shown. But
DroidSansMono Nerd Fonts are shown.
