The extend feature stretches the glyphs to get narrow or wide font but it doesn’t embolden it.
The best solution is to get a font with a real bold style, money shouldn’t be a problem because fonts are cheap nowadays.

Thanks, I hoped the it could really embold ist (like I did it in CorelDraw). Of course, money is not the problem at all - I am using it commercially, so the company should by any arabic font I would suggest. But it is very hard to find an modern font, which is capable of typsetting Quran, with full supprt and all special symbols (wich are not a part of standard modern arabic) - and more hard to find such a find in this style (Uthmanic).

There is no such a style, it is just a simplified (dumbed down) Naskh style used only in one single Mushaf. Why is that a requirement? Regards, Khaled
