  [Test Case]
  
-  1. type some text and make it as bold in Impress editing mode.
-  2. apply font which does not have a bold typeface to the text.
-     e.g. "Takao PGothic" font in fonts-takao-pgothic package.
-  3. press F5(presentation)
-  4. the text blurs horizontally. And the look of the font differs from editing mode.

-  5. update to -proposed package
-  6. the text does not blurs horizontally. And the look of the font is nearly the same as editing mode.

  The rendering way of this part was far from good. This fix is not a perfect solution, but it will improve it.
