Hi


Is there some particular reason why my <strong> elements are being exported to PDF as regular weight characters? This is on Mac, Leopard 10.5.2

Which font are you using? Does the problem still persist when using the <b> element or the "font-weight: bold" CSS property?

is what I see in Acrobat Reader. Preview on Mac doesn't show Bold either, so I assume it's not a viewer problem.

body, th, td {
font: normal 13px geneva,verdana,arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',helvetica,sans-serif;
}

is my CSS which I believe isn't changed in lower levels. The browser displays the strong elements correctly, so I'm reluctant to assume it's a CSS problem.

I'm not able to easily replace the <strong> tag because it would involve changing the wiki engine. But I will now see what happens if I use the <b> tag manually on a test file.

if i remove the CSS font definition, the bold characters are applied correctly for both tags, b and strong. if i remove everything but sans-serif, it also works.

so i guess one of the font families chosen creates the problem?

So Arial is coming through correctly as bold, but Geneva and Verdana are not?
