--- Comment #13 from Thomas Linard <thlinard at gmail.com> ---
With LibreOffice 6.x, the minimum supported Windows version is now Windows 7
SP1. So, LibreOffice could use DirectWrite to access styles: "The DirectWrite
font model follows the common typographic practice of supporting any number of
weights, styles, and stretches in the same font family. This model, the same
model followed by WPF and CSS, specifies that fonts differing only in weight
(bold, light, and so on), style (upright, italic, or oblique) or stretch
(narrow, condensed, wide, and so on) are considered to be members of a single
font family."
