Hi Michael. Hopefully I did not give the impression that this "getting fuzzy" is acceptable for fonts without a bold variant. It's ok for programs like Scribus, meant to produce professional print output, to not artificially bolden these fonts at all - but impress should definitely do this in a reasonable way. And as you reported, it was able to do it in previous versions :-)
I overlooked it before, but the upstream bug report mentions that this problem only occurs when hardware acceleration is enabled in the openoffice options dialog. I can't test this right now - could you try whether this workaround, well, works?
