Example:

...dass das Osmarender-Stylesheet in '%1' verfügbar...
normal font until here --------------^
bold font ----------------------------^----^
normal font again here ---------------------^

In case of formatting problems, the bold part is this:

%1' ve

(The space looks like two spaces...)

I cannot see any relations to the C language or its printf function
here, it just looks plain stupid. (Forwarding this as a bug report to
Launchpad)
