Just run this sample:

#include <xlsxwriter.h>

int main()
{
    lxw_workbook* workbook = workbook_new("test.xlsx");
    lxw_worksheet* worksheet = workbook_add_worksheet(workbook, "Sheet1");
    
    lxw_chart* chart = workbook_add_chart(workbook, LXW_CHART_PIE);
    chart_title_set_name(chart, "My Title");
    
    lxw_chart_font font = { 0 };
    font.size = 12;
    font.color = 0xFF0000;
    
    // NOTE: Here font.bold is indeed 0. Why isn't it respected?
    chart_title_set_name_font(chart, &font);

    lxw_chart_series* series = chart_add_series(chart, NULL, "=Sheet1!$N$7");
    
    worksheet_insert_chart(worksheet, CELL("B3"), chart);

    return workbook_close(workbook);
}

And observe that the resulting chart title is always bold:

Sorry, didn't search properly before writing the report. Closing.

LXW_EXPLICIT_FALSE to the rescue 👍
