Hi Sylvain,
In answer to your questions...

1) I can't see anything in our documentation that applies to bolding a
font in Microstation. If that information is available in FME then I
guess it will be as an attribute linkage. Have a read of the attribute
linkage part of the FME Readers and Writers manual - but I'm afraid I
can't guarantee anything. If you're stuck on this one then let me know
and I can canvass our developers' opinion.

2) I don't think it's possible to get the font name because there is
no standard for matching ID to name - eg the Engineering font might
have an ID of 3 in symb.rsc but other resource files might apply a
different ID number. Unfortunately FME doesn't read the rsc files to
find out this level of information. The best I can suggest is to
manually make a lookup table that applies to your font rsc file.

Hope this info is useful,
Regards,

Mark

wheter i put some bold text into my input files, i don't get any value
for this attribute (i have set it to a big number or a 1000 length
char to be sure to store the whole structure - it's a big one :-)
