Ok thanks for your answers.
 
It's quite important for me to get the bold information for igds texts. May be you can ask your developpers team. As i can see in the MDL header files of Microstation V8 (mdl.h), it comes with the ULong  bold field of the TextExFlags part of the TextParamWide structure. But as i said, i can't get any value for the igds_textstyle_extflags  attribute. So i can't check it.
 
Best regards

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

char to be sure to store the whole structure - it's a big one :-)
