The file format ODF allows nesting of <text:span> elements. Each such 
<text:span> element applies a style to a portion of text. And if an 
inner element has no own rule for a property, then it takes the rule 
from the outer element.

If LibreOffice gets such file, it will be rendered correctly. But 
unfortunately LibreOffice itself will not create such files, at least I 
was not able to do it with the current UI.

Combining a character style with a direct formatting works in the UI.

Kind regards
Regina
