--- Comment #10 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
This topic is dealing with two different aspects. The first is to modify the
style 'emphasis' in order to make the selection semibold. That works out of the
box, just modify the style. => WORKSFORME
The other aspect here is that non-discrete properties are not well implemented.
We have bug 66792 and bug 35538, for example, dealing with listing issues when
a font has various styles (=> DUP). And it becomes worse when variable fonts
[1] get into the mainstream providing a dynamic scale from regular and bold
(and potentially all other typeface properties). I think as long this is not
required we shouldn't change the known behavior of on/off bold and italic. That
also means we don't make it customizable what weight option of the font is used
for bold. Therefore => WONTFIX.
