I'm using FOP to produce English and Japanese PDFs.

For English, I use Helvetica and the system "monospace" (Courier) fonts. For
Japanese, I use MS PMincho and MS Gothic.

In the English PDFs, the fonts appear at their desired weights (such as bold
or normal).

In the Japanese PDFs, the fonts appear at a single weight. PMincho appears
throughout in normal weight, Gothic appears throughout in bold weight.
Weird.


Unlike M$ Word, XSL-FO processors do not "emulate" bold text. Therefore the its up to the source font to contain glyphs for both bold and normal weights.


Japanese Fonts typically contain glyphs for one weight. I know this because this subject has been discussed on this list before.

Recommended course of action: find a Japanesse font that has glyphs for both weights. Although I'm not sure any exist; hence the frequency of this question.
