Okay, here's more. Extensive testing at home shows that I cannot effectively
use BoldOn and BoldOff codes where I'm also inserting DPSpool font codes. In
such cases, the bolding is ignored. For instance, if I insert
<244>FNew Times Roman<244><244>P13<244>
as a Printer Code at the start of a character string, and
<244>FCourier New<244><244>P12<244>
at the end of that character string, those codes work fine. However, it I
surround all that with BoldOn and a BoldOff codes (whether inserted as <157>
and <156>, or inserted by DP itself, the bolding is ignored.
If I remove the DPSpool codes you see above, and just insert DP BoldOn and
BoldOff codes, it works fine.
