You need to use styles in the text field. There have been some earlier posts that go into some detail about using styles. I would suggest looking at those posts first and see if they help you figure out how to do this.

Go textfiled propertyes-> font tab

Option: is style text: check this

 Option: markup select html

new String("<style isBold='true' pdfFontName='Helvetica-Bold'>").concat($F{organizacion.descripcion}).concat("</style>.-").concat($F{entrad})

this is bold for helvetica. For PDF.

If it can be of any help to future readers, if nothing works, check if the font you're using is "boldable". I just spent two days figuring this...
