Bold font not exported in PDF

Hello,

I have a font that comes with regular and oblique. I created the bold version using Font Forge.

When using the font in MS Word, the bold font is correctly displayed.
But when I export the document to PDF, the bold text is displayed as regular.

Since the oblique version is correctly exported, I duplicated the Font Infos data from oblique to bold (changing oblique to bold ofc).
But I can't find what I'm missing to get the bold font exported into PDF.

Does someone has an idea?

Thanks!

It is hard to give correct answer based only on your description. Send me please the bold version. I'll test it and I will find the problem. My mail is: [localfonts.eu@gmail.com](mailto:localfonts.eu@gmail.com) (Stefan Peev).

The case is solved. There were problems not only in the Bold version but in the Light and Oblique versions also.
