Subject: Re: Embedding font triplets w/ a single TTF file
FOP requires a font containing the actual bold (or italic) characters it
has no capability to derive / render a bold character from a
given 'plain' character. You would need to find a font which contains
the bold characters you are interested in.
I understand the response, and that's the way it looked to me, too.
Question: Why is this possible in Adobe PDF, Word, etc, but not in FOP,
which follows the PDF spec? ...not a criticism...just wondering where the
"catch" is.
Well Word emulates the bold effect if no bold version of a Font is
available by printing the glyph on top of itself a few times (each time
having a slight offset from the last position) The XSL-FO spec doesn't
require such a feature. I guess it would be a useful feature if FOP did
this too, but I don't think the purists will like it.
