According to fontconfig, there isn't a bold face of WenQuanYi Zen Hei, only a "medium" face:

jonathan:~$ fc-list | fgrep -i zen
WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono,文泉驛等寬正黑,文泉驿等宽正黑:style=Medium,中等
WenQuanYi Zen Hei,文泉驛正黑,文泉驿正黑:style=Medium,中等
jonathan:~$

So what you're seeing in the browser is a "fake" bold. (Incidentally, it looks like we do this differently on Linux than we do on Mac and Windows.)

Apparently this isn't being handled in the print path. But I'm not sure yet whether to blame gecko, fontconfig, freetype, pango, cairo, or what....
