​Hmmm ... not sure I know how to check that ...

Might you suggest a "variable", "function"  or "menu item" that would​

​indicate whether the needed "font support" was there/enabled?

​I don't *think* I did anything with the "default font" either ...

So you actually see the "bold" rendering in the "buffer" corresponding to
the  ".org" file ​?

​If so, there is "hope" for me  ;-)​


​Thanks for your comments!
