> In some cases, simulated bold text seems to throw an error in Adobe Acrobat.
> It's been erroring in every Adobe Acrobat version released in what seems like
> the last year, possibly more.
> h2. The Problem
> For example (version 2021.005.20060; Windows 10.0.19042 Build 19042):
> !image-2021-08-12-10-10-13-731.png!
> It's hard to tell exactly why this issue occurs, but it appears to be related
> to the fact that simulated bold pushes (q) and pops (Q) the graphics state.
> Furthermore, it appears that this may cause issues only when on the last row
> of a table.
> You can reproduce the issue by using the following fonts:
> * [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans]
> * [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans]
> * [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Code+Pro]
> Along with the following FOP configuration file:

> {code:java}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
> <fop version="1.0">

> <renderer mime="application/pdf">

> Replace *font-family="sans-serif"* with *font-family="sans-serif2"* or
> *font-family="sans-serif3"* to test the two other fonts.
> h2. Proposed Solution
> The actual solution here should be reaching out to Adobe to figure out why
> only their PDF reader seems to throw this error. I don't see the error when
> using Firefox, Chrome, or Foxit to view the PDF.
> With that being said, I've found a code change that seems to remove the error
> while maintaining the simulated styling.
> [^fix.patch]
> Basically, instead of pushing and popping the graphics state before
> simulating bold, just reset the text rendering mode to 0 when done simulating
> bold text. I've done quite a bit of testing, and this seems to work fine.
> Curious to hear from others if there are any issues with this change.
> Here are some examples of before the change and after the change:
> [^OpenSans-before.pdf]
> [^OpenSans-after.pdf]
> [^NotoSans-before.pdf]
> [^NotoSans-after.pdf]
> [^SourceCodePro-before.pdf]
> [^SourceCodePro-after.pdf]
