Bold Not Working in PDF

2005-10-10 15:52

My report specifies bold for static text appearing in headers (example follows). If I export the report to html or xls, the bold appears. But when I export to PDF, text appears normal (not bold). Any clues as to what I might be missing?

 

<staticText>

<reportElement positionType="Float" x="237" y="91" width="44" height="15"/>

<textElement>

<font size="9" isBold="true"/>

</textElement>

<text><![CDATA[City]]></text>

</staticText>

Duh!

 

Adding something like the following in the <text-element> tag will do the trick:

 

pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold"
