    Resolved [RESOLVED] Courier New - Bold not working

    We use Courier New for certain draft documents, and certain parts of the document must be BOLD. This is accomplished using Word interop.

    One of the users complained that all of the text is not bold, in particular these characters :;.,

    If you paste this

    This ;:., test

    into a word document and alternate bold not bold you'll see the issue. Is it us or?????

    I can't reproduce the issue. I see a change, albeit slight, when bolding the characters in question.

    If you increase the font size dramatically and perform the same bold/unbold test, you can see more easily that the characters are indeed being altered.

    Finally, this has nothing to do with VB.Net.

    That's funny, for me on word 2010, with courrier new size 11 when I put bold on this characters, it seems to unbold them.

    Just making certain, though I agree.
