The boldness slider is enabled only when a built in font is selected. It is disabled when "Publisher font" is chosen.

For a sideloaded KF8 there is no interaction between the boldness slider and the embedded font, since the embedded font is only used when "Publisher font" is selected.

For a sideloaded KFX the boldness slider affects the chosen base font, but has no impact on how the embedded font is rendered.

That is pretty much what I expected.
