In my version of Jasper reports (from 2/28/06), the bold style is not appearing in pdf output. If I have stylized text (for example, "<b>This</b> should be <b>bold</b>"), the bold parts appear bold in the jasper output, but not in the pdf. The only way I can get bold in pdf is to force the pdf font for that element to be a bold font (pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold" for example), but that bolds the entire string and does not allow me to control it via the style markup <b>. Does Jasper support stylized bold markup in pdf output? Am I just missing something here?
