Description ndijulio 2009-06-26 14:41:27 UTC

For pages with long text bodies it would be great to support the usage of both Bold and Medium font types.  We are only using one font throughout the UI and not be able to mix styles is extremely limiting from a design perspective...

ex./
information windows, about page, and account creation, track lists, help menus, etc.

This enhancement would benefit all devices.

I spoke with Richard about this yesterday. The reason we can't do this is because we haven't brought the Pango text rendering code into the mix.

The unfortunate answer is that this is not going to change anytime soon

The 'UI' component is being removed.  This bug is being shifted to the appropriate new component.
