Long known issue, as limitation of legacy R/B/RI/BI font design and handling

There is a workaround given in Comment 54 of that thread which involves
using FontForge to edit the font.
Maybe this workaround can apply to the OP's problem.
Many thanks LAP! That workaround sounds promising. Yet I fail to understand why
this bug has been known for such a long time and could not yet be fixed.. 🤯
With respect: that sounds astonishing. Did you read the last few dozen comments (or
Stuart's apt summary in this thread: "... requires major refactoring of font
handling, with risk to legacy documents and lack of a consensus on what approach is best
for ODF and OOXML interoperability--*cross platform*")? That bug is an education in
two non-trivial problems: font handling and Microsoft coexistence. Yes, it has taken
time to resolve, but with limited resources we are blessed to have such thoughtful
considerations of the best way forward.
Kind regards,
John
