Hi, I think you generate the font metrics file in the right way. MS Word can display fonts in bold, even when there is no special font file available, that's right. Sorry, I don't know, if there is a solution in FOP to create a bold font xml without the appropriate font file.
==> Does anybody else in this mailing list know, how to do that ??? The FOP website does not tell anything about this...
