Title:
  Bolding unicode fonts works only sporadically

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While chasing down a bug today (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/32343)
  I discovered that Ubuntu's font support doesn't seem to work as well
  as Fedora 16's.

  Attached you'll see a screenshot of Ubuntu's Chromium vs Ubuntu's
  Firefox.  The bolded letters in the Tamil language font are not
  displayed correctly.  I downloaded Google's .deb of Chrome to compare
  and it had the same problem.  (You'll see from the linked bug that
  Brion diagnosed this problem first.)

  Since Fedora 16 came out recently, I decided to give it a try.  The
  Google-provided RPMs for Chrome were able to display the bolded fonts
  properly there.

  Ubuntu should probably do whatever Fedora is doing to bold those
  fonts.
