Chinese in Bold

[arbabu <ra...@wipro.com>]

Hi,

I am using FOP for PDF generation in multiple languages and using
ArialUnicode MS font. I am able to get the bold property for all single byt
echaracters but not double byte chars like chines. Could yo u please let me
know if I can generate Chinese PDF with bold and Italic property?

Thanks & Regards
Ramesh Babu Atta

In order to get bold or italic variants for characters
in a user supplied font you have to get hold of a font
file containing these variants, and you have to tell FOP
in its configuration to use them. FOP can't generate
bold or italic characters on itself.
Unfortunately, there isn't neither a bold nor an italic
variant available for the MS Arial Unicode font. For
Chinese characters, you can try to track down a file
with MS Mincho bold (I hope I spelled it correctly),
however, MS Mincho isn't free and you might have to
buy it. I can't remember I've ever seen a font with
italic variants for Chinese, and it doesn't make a
lot of sense either.
