[XeTeX] bug with +embolden in TrueType (again)

Hi there,

I'm reporting this issue again, since I'm afraid last message went
unnoticed.

For some strange reason, when using the +embolden feature in fonts with
TrueType outlines and changing sizes the font is embedded as many times
as the font size changes. I guess this might be a bug.

This doesn't happen in fonts with PostScript outlines.

A minimal sample:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[FakeBold=2]{ChopinScript}
\begin{document}
hi \textbf{hi}{\large hi \textbf{hi}}{\small hi \textbf{hi}}{\tiny hi
\textbf{hi}}{\Large hi \textbf{hi}}{\huge hi \textbf{hi}}
\end{document}

I hope it helps,


Pablo
