NathanWoods Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I'm not able to select "BOLD" for my text! What am I doing wrong? Quote
Staff stokerg Posted January 24, 2019 Staff Posted January 24, 2019 Hi NathanWoods, I suspect the font you are using doesn't have a Bold subset included, so the bold option will be greyed out. Some other apps will allow you to 'fake' the bold effect but we decided not to, as it can cause more issues, depending on the font. Alfred 1 Quote
Alfred Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 If you want to create your own ‘faux’ bold, select the text and apply a thin stroke to it. This tends to yield a particularly poor result with serif fonts because the serifs become disproportionately thick, and whatever the font you will probably have to increase the tracking.
