That's a different issue. Some fonts do not have a bold variant and it
cannot easily be faked. I think the italique one is faked as oblique
for all of them. This is different from the text and font dialog where
you can select the exact variant you want in a list.
IMHO there is still a bug in the font dialog that presents you with a
Bold/Italic variant for fonts that don't have one. I guess that has to
do with what information can be accessed by Pango.
Overall, the state of text-related stuff in Inkscape is unfortunately
pretty poor.

Oh that's a problem. That might mean that the same executable is
actually used in all of them. Does someone knows where this date comes
from? I just did: svn up, configure, make, make install and package +
distribute. Maybe I need to redo autoconf too, or make clean before
each build (but that kind of defeats the purpose of a having
makefile). I'll rebuild one tonight or tomorrow from scratch.
