I am a bit puzzled on how fonts are used by various software. For example, I am using CC Web Font, and I have imported a font called Papyrus. This font consists of just one .tff file (and one .swf file). I am unaware of any other files such as a bold or italic. When I imported this file into Web Font, I just have the regular style, but not bold or italic. I have read where there should be separate files for bold, italic, and bold italic.

Here is my question: I have two word processors on my computer (MS Word and Corel WordPerfect), and they both seem to be able to diaplay bold and italic styles from the one Papyrus font file. Is there some special capability in word processors that permit this flexibility from apparently one .tff file? I would like to have the flexibility of using the bold or italic styles of the font, but I am unclear how to accomplish this. I have searched the internet, and I have not found any Papyrus fonts with more than one .ttf file. Why can my word processors display the different syles and not Web Font? Am I missing something obvious here?

Perhaps this question is beyond the scope of these forums, but just in case, thanks, in advance, for any information you can provide on this subject. John H.

You should create those if you have the needed font variants, otherwise regular is it.



This isn't really a special capability, as even web browsers can make the same font source appear bold or italic. However, even your word processors can't do anything for the appearance of a flash font, which is what you're using. It's a completely different animal.

For a bold look, you can try...

Under Glow settings:

Color: Black
Alpha: 100
H & V blurs: 0
Strength: 15

Personally, I think it's too pixelated.

Edit: If the font is displayed large enough, you can increase the h blur to 2 or 3 and reduce the strength.
