OK, thanks for the explanation.
Of course a TODO is to look how nice it would be rendered on
non-X11/freetype systems.

BTW, Is there a place (wiki?) where we note down status of particular
ODF properties? If not, I can create a simple table. I found some
comments in KoCharacterStyle.cpp, but having the support status noted
down somewhere centrally would be nicer.
