Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I was checking the digitization of »Heraklit« (originally by Hermann
Zapf) and I noticed that embolden didn’t work properly in LMTX.
Just in case anyone is interested, the links for a discussion about the
project and download are https://typedrawers.com/discussion/3569/ and
https://www.greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/typefaces/20th_21st_century#GFS_Heraklit.
Many thanksf or your help,
Pablo
