Japanese Bolding Issue
Hi,
Since I got no response about the Japanese bolding issue I’m going to ask another question
Is anybody willing to provide MS Gothic Bold for money? Let me know the cost of it.
Thanks
Lucian Opris

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I've done a quick search for any Japanese Gothic bold font and most of them are OTF PostScript Outlines which FOP does not support yet.

AFAIK, MS Gothic has no bold variant. There's a possibility in PDF (PDF
1.4, section 5.5.2, page 321) to automatically derive a bold font from a
normal one (although the result usually doesn't look so nice), but
unfortunately, FOP doesn't support that, yet.
If I were you I'd look in a good font foundry like http://www.linotype.com
for a Japanese Gothic font with a bold variant. You'll actually get
multiple weight grades there. HTH
