Seems that Flying Saucer has issues with certain font variants. I changed
font:10px arial,sans-serif;
to
font-size:10px;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";
The fact that I have declared font-size separately is inconsequential. I just did it to separate the issues for testing. I checked other fonts and it appears that Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif and a few others wont be made bold in the XHTMLPanel
. Why this is I have no idea. I will report it to them directly, in case it is a bug of some description.
