Chinese Bold Font
Hi,
I am trying to get some bold Simplified chinese fonts preferable of the
regular fonts available in Windows 2000 like SimHei. MSHei, SimSun or
MSSong. The font-triplet properties in FOP userconfig.xml is not able to
convert these to bold.
Thanks and regards,
Sajeesh

Check
http://freshmeat.net/projects/fontforge/
and similar places.
Note that automatic generation of bold glyphs is Hi Tech, especially
for CJK fonts (stroke caps are often problematic). You might ask
the fontforge maintainers for more details about apropriate software.

Well, try Google. Admittedly, bold Hei or Song fonts seem to be
hard to come by.

Hi J,
I could understand that we require a separate bold fonts for Chinese but
unfortunately its not available in Windows and I couldnt get any bold fonts
from the net. Can you suggest any freeware font editors or places we can
get standard bold fonts like maybe Hei or Song bold fonts. Thanks for your
help.
regards,
Sajeesh

FOP can't generate bold glyphs from a normal weight glyph font.
You have to get a font file specifically containing bold glyphs.
If you can't get such a file, get a font editor which can create
a bold font from a normal weight font for you and roll your own.
