TrueType Font Doesn't Appear Bold

ID: Q82799

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

When using Microsoft Windows TrueType fonts with applications that support Page View or other condensed views such as Fit to Page or Fit to Window, TrueType bold and bold italic fonts no longer appear bold.

This problem is the result of applications reducing the line widths of fonts to one pixel on the display, and is done intentionally for readability. When displayed in actual size or printed, the text will appear as bold.
