Hello,
I have a weird situation, that the line:
run.FontWieght = FontWieghts.Bold;
doesn't work.
in second hand, every other character attribute is working perfectly (like FontStyle, FontUnderline, Font size and so on).
can anyone guess what could be the issue?
Hello Michael,
Such behavior could be observed when the font used for the specific run doesn't support bold characters. Can you please share more information about the setup you have so we can further investigate that? How is the run generated and what are the properties applied to it?
Hello Tanya!
it seem that only when I add the "FlowDirection" like the code below
it overrides the bold statement...
when i comment the FlowDirection, the bold attribute works perfectly!
Hello Michael,
Thank you for the additional details. I managed to reproduce the issue when the text is in right-to-left mode and it seems like this behavior is specific to MS Word. In the exported content, the bold styling is applied and the button in the ribbon of MS Word also indicates that. However, the text is rendered without any bolding. I have found a guide on how to fix that in MS Word: https://www.biosciencewriters.com/Fixing-right-to-left-text-in-Microsoft-Word.aspx.
I have also tested opening the generated document with other applications supporting .docx files and confirmed that the bold option is applied to the text and everything is rendered as expected.
Hope this information is useful.
Dear Tanya!
The problem has been fixed thanks to you.
Thank you very much for your responses!
