Description
This is a real bummer. With a number of fonts (for e.g. Delicious, http://www.exljbris.com/delicious.html), bold metrics get messed up when opening a composer from a saved project. All the characters are over-bold. It's quite serious as it also affects the export to image.
Steps to reproduce- Install the Delicious font (it's free and available here: http://www.exljbris.com/delicious.html)
- Launch QGIS, and create a new composer from the blank project
- Add a label item, and set its font family to "Delicious Smallcaps" with a size value of 48
- Enter a random string in the label, and notice its style
- Save the project with the above-created composer
- Exit QGIS
- Re-launch QGIS, and open the saved project
- Open the composer, and notice how the label item font boldness is all wrong (see attached screenshot comparison)
