Bold font doesn't work?
I set my field to Arial Bold, but when I run the iPad simulator, it shows up plain, not bold. Even if I click the B button (for bold,) the simulator does not respect it. Known issue?

I could confirm the issue, you should create a report in the Quality Control Center.richardmac wrote:I set my field to Arial Bold, but when I run the iPad simulator, it shows up plain, not bold. Even if I click the B button (for bold,) the simulator does not respect it. Known issue?
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put empty into fld "Field"
set the textfont of fld "Field" to empty
set the textStyle of fld "Field" to "plain"
put the fontNames into fld "Field"
wait 2 seconds with messages
set the textFont of fld "Field" to "Arial"
set the textStyle of fld "Field" to "bold"
end mouseUp

Re: Bold font doesn't work?
Arial isn't a supported iOS system font, so what you are seeing is the default to Helvetica...

Good deal - Helvetica Bold does work.
I had originally tried to use Helvetica Neue Bold, which does not work. Didn't try regular Helvetica, in bold, but it works and is close enough to pass, I think.

richardmac:
In the list of fonts from that referenced thread, apparently Arial MT is supported, as is Arial MT Bold... haven't tried this one, but you might give it a shot if you want...
Let us know.
