[xep-support] Japanese not bolding

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Jim,

The reason is simple - in the font configuration cited below the same
outline used both for regular and bold fonts (there is the same font-file
KozMinPro-Regular-Acro.otf specified for all fonts records in the configuration).

This font has a separate bold outline: http://www.transaction-one.com/gs/html/a/adobe/fontstore/en/type/browser/F/KOMI/F_KOMI-10008000.jsp
As far as I know it is sold separately as well as shipped with some Adobe products.

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

rpn> Dear All,
rpn> I am unable to get japanese text to bold.  I have installed KozMinPro
rpn> and configured the fonts.xml file, but the all text is not bold even
rpn> when i set <fo:block font-weight="bold">hello</fo:block>

rpn> any pointers? I am using xep383

rpn> Jim.

rpn> my simple fo is
rpn> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
rpn> font-family="KozMinPro-Regular-Acro">
rpn> <fo:layout-master-set>
rpn> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="page">
rpn> <fo:region-body/>
rpn> </fo:simple-page-master>
rpn> </fo:layout-master-set>

rpn> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="page">
rpn>   <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
rpn>     <fo:block>hello</fo:block>
rpn>     <fo:block font-weight="bold">hello</fo:block>
rpn>   </fo:flow>
rpn> </fo:page-sequence>
rpn> </fo:root>


rpn> and my fonts.xml snippet is
rpn>    <font name="KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
rpn>          ttf="c:/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat
rpn> 6.0/Resource/CIDFont/KozMinPro-Regular-Acro.otf"

rpn>          adobe-ordering="Japan1"
rpn>          adobe-supplement="2"
rpn>          embed="false">
rpn>      <alias name="KozMinPro"/>
rpn>    </font>

rpn>          ttf="c:/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat
