Normal + italic fonts work; but bold appears normal

Hello xml-poets,

Can some one cast some light in why bold is not printing?
my userconfig.xml is:

<fop version="1.0">
  <renderers>
    <renderer mime="application/pdf">
      <fonts>
    
       <font kerning="yes" 
		  embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.ttf">  
		  <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="400"/>
        </font>
        <font kerning="yes"  
		  embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALI.ttf">
		  <font-triplet name="Arial" style="italic" weight="400"/>
        </font>
        <font kerning="yes" 
          embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALBD.ttf">
          <font-triplet name="Arial" style="bold" weight="bold"/>
        </font>

        <font kerning="yes" 
		  embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ariblk.ttf">  
		  <font-triplet name="ArialBlack" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
        </font>
        <font kerning="yes"  
		  embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ariblk.ttf">
		  <font-triplet name="ArialBlack" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
        </font>
        <font kerning="yes" 
          embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ariblk.ttf">
          <font-triplet name="ArialBlack" style="bold" weight="bold"/>
        </font>

      </fonts>
    </renderer>
   </renderers>
</fop>

Trying to display some text in bold, but it shows only normal.  though Italic is also ok.
I use ArialBlack as a donkeybridge ( aka Eselsbruecke), unitl some divine light is cast upon me.

Any ideal how to make bold appear? font-style="??"  font-weight="???" or what else shall I use?

YES!!!

Thankyou!!!!!
the mix up of style and weight caused the ####s.

Now: Greek and Latin show correctly after fixing the userconfig:

arialΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ+bold      times weightboldΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ  arialbold #########

Times and Arial fixed!

I'm sure your mac has Cyrillic fonts but your config file doesn't include a reference to any.  Not sure where that hide those on macs these days but /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic is where they _should_ be. :)

Re: Normal + italic fonts work; but bold appears normal

I really don't think you're 'font-style="bold"' is correct. That is for
"normal" and "italics" (and others?).  That's why "stylebold" is not
bold.  "weightbold" is bold because you have set the font-weight
correctly. 
'font-family="ArialBold" ' probably needs to be
'font-family="ArialBlack" ' because that's what you have in your config
file.


To get the Cyrillic characters you will need to use a different font
family and mixing latin and greek characters will be a pain: many
separate in-lines necessary.  I'm sure your mac has Cyrillic fonts but
your config file doesn't include a reference to any.  Not sure where
that hide those on macs these days but /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic is
where they _should_ be. :)

Should this be style="normal" weight="bold"?

Should this be just font-family="Arial" font-weight="bold"?

Rob, u
I Tried a few things after your encouragment, here is the outpt:

stylebold#########times weightbold#########arialbold #########
 Times bold did print the latin glyphs, but not the Greek (displayed as (###))

ArialBold, does not print though.

fop:

    <fo:inline   font-family="Times"  font-style="bold" >styleboldΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ</fo:inline> <fo:inline font-family="Times" font-weight="bold" >times  weightboldΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ</fo:inline> <fo:inline font-family="ArialBold" font-style="normal">arialbold ΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ</fo:inline> </fo:block>

any ideas? I use MacOSX 10.6.8 (dev), and windows 2003 server (prod)

many thanks

Re: Normal + italic fonts work; but bold appears normal

Posted by Spyros Papantoniou <sp...@gmail.com>.
yes there is font called bold:  in red below, in the userconfig.
tried all combinations font-style="bold", font weight="bold, 800,..."

Any ideas what I do wrong?
many thanks for the lightspeed reply!
