v15.2 – Bold on labels doesn’t interact properly with font!
« on: September 25, 2020, 04:59:30 pm »
If you want a bold label, you have to go through a convoluted mechanism depending upon the font type.
For example, if the bolded version of the font is a separately named font, you need to FIRST, set the Bold property on the label (to true) and THEN select the bolded font.
Otherwise, if you try to set the font with the bold property unmarked, it will reset the font on you!   ::)

It seems to me that bolding should work in either direction.  If I select a bolded font, it should SET the Bold property to true and if you set the Bold property to true, it should select the bolded font.  And vice-versa of course...

careful, rabbit hole (read cavern) opening here, I'm surprised this is a surprise to you.
For example perhaps formatting diagram legends, or connections, or notes with their akward internal/external formatting options (to name only a few) could be made koncistent consistant the same as when formatting entities.
