Just adding more information. If I use a bold font file it works. But If I use regular font file, the font is not extrapolated to bold. Our platform has requirement not use different font files for bold and regular fonts (space limitations).
Can someone suggest where to start looking at ? Is it in Skia library ? If so any pointers ? Thanks!
