Not getting Bold font in PDF output while translating to Japanese for Print Receivables Transactions

Question

When text headings are specified to be bold within an RTF template but still the bold font/text is not reflected for any Report Definition PDF Output  using the template while we are trying to generated output in Japanese language using XLF file.

In RTF template,  text heading only uses Arial font with bold.

Please suggest if anyone face such type of issue or requirement.

Hello Madhuri,

David here in support. I am suspecting that Arial is being substituted with Go Noto Current JP which looks to be only delivered with BI in regular font. If you are producing a pdf then you can confirm the font being used via document properties and the fonts tab. Fonts like Go Noto Current JP and Albany WT J translate the characters correctly so if your Japanese output requires bold then I suspect that would require download and install from the 3rd party font vendor to include Bold, Italic, etc. e.g. Andale Duospace WT J and ADUOJB.ttf.

I look forward to other community users suggestions.
