Hi Markus, Thanks for your timely response. Unlike other fonts which have different files for different weight/style (like arialb.ttf, ariali.ttf for Arial), I can only find one file mingliu.ttc for the MingLiU font. Furthermore, MS Word is able to show MingLiU in bold.
Is there any special parameters that I should use in generating the metrics file for bold? The following is what I've done: java -cp build/fop.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -ttcname "MingLiU" C:\winnt\fonts\mingliu.ttc MingLiU.xml Fergus -----Original Message----- From: "Muller, Markus" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 5:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: Chinese character in bold Hi, AFAIK you have to generate different XML font metrics files for different font styles / weigths, so your userconfig.xml should look like this: <font metrics-file="D:\fop\fop-0.20.4\conf\MingLiU.xml" embed-file="C:\winnt\fonts\mingliu.ttc" kerning="yes"> <font-triplet name="MingLiU" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-file="D:\fop\fop-0.20.4\conf\MingLiUBold.xml" embed-file="[dont know]" kerning="yes"> <font-triplet name="MingLiU" style="normal" weight="bold"/> </font> and so on.
