YES!!!

Thankyou!!!!!

the mix up of style and weight caused the ####s.

Now: Greek and Latin show correctly after fixing the userconfig:

arialΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ+bold times weightboldΠΡΟΣΚΛΗΣΗ arialbold #########

Times and Arial fixed!

I really don't think you're 'font-style="bold"' is correct. That is for "normal" and "italics" (and others?). That's why "stylebold" is not bold. "weightbold" is bold because you have set the font-weight correctly. 'font-family="ArialBold" ' probably needs to be 'font-family="ArialBlack" ' because that's what you have in your config file.To get the Cyrillic characters you will need to use a different font family and mixing latin and greek characters will be a pain: many separate in-lines necessary. I'm sure your mac has Cyrillic fonts but your config file doesn't include a reference to any. Not sure where that hide those on macs these days but /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic is where they _should_ be. :) On 10/03/2011 02:24 PM, Spyros Papantoniou wrote:
Rob, u
I Tried a few things after your encouragment, here is the outpt:

stylebold#########times weightbold#########arialbold #########

Times bold did print the latin glyphs, but not the Greek (displayed as (###))

ArialBold, does not print though.

Trying to display some text in bold, but it shows only normal. though Italic is also ok.

I use ArialBlack as a donkeybridge ( aka Eselsbruecke), unitl some divine light is cast upon me.

Any ideal how to make bold appear? font-style="??" font-weight="???" or what else shall I use?

<fo:block font-size="12pt" font-family="Arial" text-align="left" font-weight="1800" font-weight="bold" font-style="bold " > 

I doubt you have a weight of 1800, nor is there a font-style called bold. That should be normal or italic.
