You can specify font-family="Arial, ArialUni" but since Apache FOP currently doesn't support font selection glyph-by-glyph, the automatic selection will only work word-by-word. So that probably won't help you, I'm afraid. > What do you mean with Using ArialUni,Bold In stead of ArialUni in the > /BaseFont entry? Where do I put that? These are low-level PDF structures. First we'd have to support that in FOP's PDF library and then within the fonts module. So we're talking Java development here. Nothing a normal user can do at the moment. I just mentioned that to give some context should anyone decide to change FOP to support this. > Best regards, > > Peder > > On 2 feb 2011, at 09:30, Jeremias Maerki wrote: > > > There are two fonts: arial*.ttf and arialuni.ttf.
