load any font into the bold font-slot (italic font-slot too if you want to test both)

works:

Using Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I works fine, and so does scripting the Character weight
The tick-box will show the style information of Characters when they are set via script or keyboard shortcut

unexpected behavour:

the tick-box will not work the other way around, you can't set the weight from the tick-box, this might be unexpected puzzling behaviour.

Humpf… that’s not technically a bug, in fact, code is behaving as expected, the formatting data shown in that panel is take from 'active' char, but its value is always only ever used for new chars it’d seem…

This could for sure be enhanced in a UX perspective, but that’s more TODO than anything else. @Sergey, think you are more up-to-date about our curve & text system, so will let you decide here?

it's not a bug if the code works as intended? ok Got it :) We can close this then?

The whole formatting things are quite weak here. Improvements are possible, but they happen outside of the bug tracker work.

Made a note in our TODO list: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Development/Todo/Tools#Text_objects

Thanks for the report, but closing as a TODO..
